Conventions Near You: Central Florida Area (2009)
I’ve decided to start a new feature here at Convention Fans. I get a lot of e-mails and questions from people, asking if I know of a convention near them. This will be a way for you to see if there are conventions close by! Periodically, I’ll add a new entry with a list of conventions for a particular geographic area. Of course, there are SO many conventions out there, it can be pretty easy to miss one. If you know of one that isn’t on the list, add a comment with the con’s name, dates, and a website!
To kick off this feature, I’m going to be doing Central Florida, since it was my home for twenty-four years, and there are a ton of cons to choose from.

Wow, thanks for posting this! I live in Central Florida so this is super helpful! I didn’t know about a bunch of these.
Great idea! Can’t wait to see one for PA/NJ
Why isn’t METROCON included in this list? Will there be an entry for West/Central Florida cons?
