View source for International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts

(Are you looking for the Australian convention [[Swancon]]?)

The International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts is a very academic [[convention]] held annually, nearly always in Florida, which, in its early days, was also known as '''Swanncon''' after [[Thomas Burnett Swann]].  While each convention has its own [[Guests of Honor]], [[Brian Aldiss]] is a "Perennial [[Special Guest]]".  (Note that they have a "GoH" and then several Guests of various flavors which their website indicates are ''not'' GoHs.)

Sponsored by the [[International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts]]
