FOGcon

A convention in the Bay Area since 2011 which is "a literary-themed, conversational West Coast SF/F con. Each year we chose a new theme and invite Honored Guests (ranging from writers to scientists and artists) whose work exemplifies the theme."

The "FOG" in FOGcon is a pun on Bay Area fogs and the acronym for Friends of Genre (along with the Speculative Literature Foundation) one of the two sponsoring organizations.
