Everything about Midwestcon totally explained
Midwestcon is an annual
science fiction convention held in the
Cincinnati,
Ohio area. The
1949 Worldcon took place in Cincinnati, and the first Midwestcon followed in 1950, and has been held every year since, making it among the longest-running conventions to be held in the same city.
Midwestcon is a type of convention known as a "relaxacon," which means that it has no programming, dealer's room or guests of honor. Instead it's notable as a means for
science fiction fans to get together and talk to each other without the distractions of other conventions. For this reason, it tends to be more informal, but also more daunting to outsiders, than most science fiction conventions.
Many significant figures in Science Fiction have attended Midwestcon, including
Isaac Asimov and
Arthur C. Clarke.
First Fandom was founded at the 1959 Midwestcon. As of June 2005
Howard DeVore and Margaret Ford Keifer were the only two people who attended all 56 Midwestcons (1950 to 2005).
