SECCOND
Following on from the original SECCON, we ran SECCOND over the late
May bank holiday weekend in 2001. See the SECCOND
main page for further details!
Seccon was a relaxed general SF convention held in
Stevenage over the late May bank holiday 1999. Intended to have a light but varied schedule and plenty of opportunity to socialise, it was planned as a relaxed and enjoyable convention that would nonetheless feature a good range of SF-related programme items.
By and large, it would seem that we succeeded!
Our Guest of Honour was
Stephen Baxter,
award-winning author of such acclaimed works as The Time Ships,
Voyage and Titan. Praised by SFX Magazine as "The best SF
author in Britain", Stephen Baxter’s fiction ranges from universe-spanning
epic hard SF to poignant alternate histories, as displayed in his recent
collections Vacuum Diagrams and Traces.
Seccon was held at the Hertfordpark Hotel, venue for
Mexicon 6 and Precursor.
The Seccon Committee were Simon and Bridget Bradshaw.
