Steamcon

Steamcon® is one of the largest regional steampunk conventions/symposium in the United States. Located in the Seattle area of Washington state, Steamcon® held its first symposium in 2009.

Overview
Steamcon® grew out of the desire of its founders to host a steampunk event in greater Seattle. The idea to start the event was hatched at the local science fiction convention Norwescon in 2008 when multiple people expressed an interest to hold an event devoted exclusively to steampunk.

2010
The second annual Steamcon® will be held November 19th - 21st, 2010. The host venues will be the Hilton Seattle Airport Hotel as well as the Seattle Airport Marriott.
