Have you chaired any conventions? (M-Z list)

[hazelchaz]

Have you served as chair for a fannish convention, and believe you can lay your hands on a list of chairs? (I'll settle for all the chairs through your year, for example if you printed that in your program book.) I'm trying to build up my reference data that I use when I update Fan Gallery bio captions.

I have some info already on file, I'll be summarizing them in chunks.

Conventions (M-Z) that I already have some chair info for.

NASFIC, complete through 2014.
Northeast Filk Convention, through 2013. (And are the ones in Maryland called Counterpoint or Conterpoint?)

But note... Worldcon not WorldCon.

Worldcon

I think you're right. I just re-read the WSFS constitution.

Plokta.con

[hazelchaz]

Plokta.con would be one of the conventions I have no data on. Just saying...

They're only tiddy! Not sure we had chairs really. I think there is something about a US obsession with the role of chair here -- we see that a lot at Worldcon. UK conrunning is really normally pretty consensual and collaborative.

The website is at http://plokta.com/plokta.con/ -- that's for the four main (two-day) ones but we also held a one-day crossover with Dangercon, Plokta.con Pi: the Dangercon. that was organised by Flick and James Bacon.

I believe he chairs of all the Costume-Cons are embedded in additional info tags at the convention level in the visual archive at costume-com.org.

This year's chair is Deb Kosiba.

WindyCon, through 2013.

Thank you for confirming the source material, and for this year's chair. Will that page be updated later?

I do not know. I just knew where to find the info.
