The 2019 minicon was a great success!

As of 2020 we are changing the name of our annual event from "minicon" to Ring of Fire Con since it's really no longer very "mini." In 2020 it will be held at the 2020 Nasfic convention.

The event will be held August 20-23, 2020 at the Sheraton Columbus Hotel at Capitol Square in Columbus, Ohio. NASFIC is an event held whenever WorldCon is held outside the United States. See the above link for registration details. More details as we have them.

The RoFCon is the annual event that allows the 1632 fans and authors to get together. (Of course, in the case of 1632, fans and authors overlap substantially.)

Each year the con is held "inside" a science fiction convention in a different part of the country. Many cons have agreed to host the minicon over the years.
