This year’s SMOFcon took place in San José at the weekend. There was, unusually, a vote for the location of the 2011 event. This was won by a bid for Amsterdam. The convention will take place on the weekend December 2-4. Their website is here.

For the benefit of those of you not familiar with SMOFcon, it is a convention about running science fiction conventions. If you are involved in con-running in any way, this will be a good opportunity to meet up with a bunch of like-minded folks from North America and swap ideas. The event will probably also end up being a planning meeting for the proposed London Worldcon. Indeed, as there is a Tun meeting due on Dec 1st, I suspect there may be goings on in London, including a site visit, prior to the con getting started.

Current prices are good only until February 28th, 2011, so if you are thinking of going you should sign up soon.
