| | | | |
| − | A [[regional convention]] sponsored by [[PSFS]] in the [[Philadelphia]] area since 1936. It was known as the '''PhilCo''' in the 40s and as '''Phillycon''' in the 50s -- it is unclear just when Philcon caught on as the name of the gathering. | + | * A long series of [[Philcon|Philadelphia regional conventions]]. |
| | + | * The [[First Convention|first sf convention]]. |
| | + | * The [[Third Eastern Science Fiction Convention]] |
| | + | * The [[1938 Philadelphia Conference]]. |

| − | The history of Philcon is unusually vague -- [[Harry Warner]], for instance, mentions that he was unable to find out much for his histories of the 50s and 60s. This may be why Philcon does not label its conventions by number, but instead uses years.
