Wilf's International Con Listings
This convention list was inspired by the MAGICIAN, Chris
O'Shea. He needed some details for his convention list -
Connotation about
German conventions because his source had dried up. I was able
to provide details of German and other European cons because of
my knowledge of German, Swedish and French. This convention list
has grown from those small beginnings. The details listed here
are largely drawn from the original sources but they are supplemented
by information that Chris has put on his website. This is to ensure
that when two or more conventions share the same weekend, you
can choose which one you would like to go to. Please note that external links are in normal type and local
links are in bold type.
I retain the copyright to these pages but they may be copied for
the benefit of fans provided an acknowledgement of this source
is given.

Important Notes
for Fans
I request all con runners
to look at the way that I display the information for each convention
in my convention list and then send me an email with the appropriate
details for the con concerned - preferably in the
style and the order that I use. I now have a page with an explanation
of the layout that I use and a copyable layout sequence that you
can use to paste the bare bones of a convention entry in an email.
It will also help you to remember to include items like the date
and the location.
If your convention is listed here, please add a link to this page.
I am happy to include any information regarding SF and fantasy related conventions in my list but I cannot afford a lot of time these days to go looking for it or ferrreting out details from a disorganised website. (Beware of using Microsoft Frontpage to produce web pages. Websites created this way will often cause non-Microsoft browsers to crash. If a website crashes Netscape 4.7, it will not be knowingly listed. Don't alienate a lot of potential visitors.)
I now have a policy of not showing
emails in the usual format on my website. Newly received email
addresses (as of September 2002) are now shown as they are spoken
in Britain. My email address is now in the form: wilf dot james at ntlworld dot
com.
This does not make the email address unusable to humans but it
beats most spammers' robots. I try to prevent spammers sending
spam to con runners by this method.
I typically get 90 emails a day, of which between 80 and 86 are
spam so I am very much aware of the spamming problem. I am therefore
removing all instances of my conventional email address from this
website.
I have generally received compliments
about the way that I present convention information in my list
but that does not mean that it cannot be improved. I welcome any
suggestions or comments that could lead to an inprovement in the
way that the information is presented. There was no date index
system included in the original list until someone said that she
found the very long list hard to browse through to find a convention.
I trust that the indexing system that I have devised has provided
a partial solution to that problem. The change in presenting email
addresses to a form that spammers' robots could not collect came
about after some conrunners wanted their email addresses omitted
to avoid getting spam. I started by changing a to ä, e to
é o to ö etc. and @ to § to make the email addresses
readable to humans but useless to spammers. Then I saw how someone
had used the written version of the spoken form. I thought that
it was a better way than I had thought of to beat spammers so
I now use it for all new email addresses.
Please note that illegal spammers often offer the choice
to have an address removed from a mailing list. A reply asking
to be removed will be used as confirmation that the email address
is valid so that it can be re-used or passed on to another spammer.
Do NOT reply to spammers!
Legitimate organisations respect requests for removal from mailing
lists. Please do not confuse the two.
I advise all fans to contact their local member of their national
government (MP, senator, etc.) to ask if some form of legislation
can be made into law for all mass mailings to include the source
ISP's internet address. In that way it will be possible for recipients
of spam to contact the ISP concerned to complain about the unwanted
spamming. This action will not (generally) affect reputable organisations
that will remove names from mailing lists on request.
This is a link to the letter I have sent
to my MP.
Conrunners from all over the world are invited
to send me details of their events in Danish, Dutch, English,
French, German, Norwegian or Swedish. I will translate the
text into English and submit the result to the sender for approval.
Your flag will be added (if it is not displayed already) as soon
as I get con information from your country.
Send me details of your event at my spamproof? email address:
wilf dot james at ntlworld dot com
Please note the format that
I use and send me
the con details in the same format. This will make it easier
for me to display your con as you would like it displayed on this
page. Go to the layout form page
to see how it should be done.
Media Fans - Please note that actors and other media personnel's
(past) roles are omitted. (You should know what they have done!)
:-)
Please note: The translations of the con descriptions
are more fannish than pedantic. The con information has been checked
from the original sources where possible.
These con listings have been taken or translated from ConNotation,
Ansible Fans
Across the World, the SFCD,
SF-Infodienst,
Jenga's
Massive List and other websites in Europe. More convention
information is always needed.
