[edit] Introduction
United Fan Con, subtitled "New England's Ultimate Pop Culture Fanfest"[1], is a media-centric science fiction convention. The emphasis has generally been on media guests from such series as Star Trek, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, and Stargate SG-1. It is held annually in early November in Springfield, Massachusetts and organized by the U. S. Branch of UNIT Fan Club, in cooperation with several New England Star Trek and Science Fiction fan clubs.[2]
Events generally staged at the convention include guest panels and autograph sessions, a dealer's room, masquerade, banquet and dance.
