About ConDuit 2015

Genres
Utah's longest-running general science fiction, fantasy, and horror convention. CONduit is an annual general interest sci-fi/fantasy con that happens in May in Utah. CONduit was founded in 1989 but took two years to plan its first convention. While there are other genre conventions in Salt Lake City and Utah, CONduit is the largest general interest convention, and provides a means for professionals to meet and network with other professionals, as well as a way for fans to meet and enjoy each other's company. The Goal of the CONduit organization is to provide a medium for writers, artists, and fans of the science fiction and fantasy genres to meet and exchange information and ideas with each other. To fulfill this goal the Convention Committee plans an annual three day convention which is meant to be entertaining, informative, and educational. As CONduit is intended to be a gathering to exchange information and ideas, the committee invites professionals from the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres to attend the convention every year. In the past we have had professional authors, artists, actors, game designers, and singers attend our convention and mingle with the local fans. The CONduit con is not only a means for the local fans to meet and exchange ideas, but it is also a means to cement the local fans together, and give them a sense of unity by letting them interact with people who have similar interests. Each year, CONduit has a charity auction to benefit a local charitable cause. In years past, this auction benefitted Reading for the Future, a non-profit organization which promoted literacy through speculative fiction. The RFF Utah Student Writing and Art Contest was sponsored in part by CONduit. However, RFF ceased operation in January 2010. CONduit is also a founding member of the Utah Speculative Fiction Council.
