What is I-CON?
Attended by over 6,000 people each year, I-CON is a three day
festival, designed to
encourage literacy, creativity
and interest in science and technology through science fiction and its related genres. Programming at I-CON spans a
wide range of topics and interests, including science fiction, fantasy, horror, Japanese animation (otherwise known
as Anime), science and technology, comic books, and medieval reenactment.
Guest speakers are invited from around the world to share their experiences in their fields, information about
any new or upcoming projects and their insights into the genre with their fans. Over the course of the convention,
guests typically will participate in panel discussions, give workshops and demonstrations, sign autographs, and
interact with their fans on a one on one basis in such venues as the Awards Banquet. With so much to offer, I-CON
is able to appeal to a diverse audience, including college students, senior citizens and families with young
children.
I-CON (with a hyphen) is presented annually by ICON Science Fiction, INC (without a hyphen; hereafter referred to
as "ICON") and the I-CON Campus Chapter. ICON is a not-for-profit corporation which is a legal entity separate
from New York State and the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
