Baycon-the-Westercon (Westercon 14) was held July 1-2, 1961 at the Hotel Leamington, in Oakland, CA. GoH: Fritz Leiber, FGoH: Jack Speer. Chaired by: Honey Wood, and sponsored by Golden Gate Futurian Society.

"Baycon" as a convention name has a complicated history, with two Westercons, a Worldcon and at least one regional using that name. This Westercon (#14) appears to have been the first to use the name. See Baycon for the combined Worldcon/Westercon or Baycon (Bay Area regional) for information about other cons.
