Tell me more, like where did Con 9 come from???

Con 9 From Outer Space grew out of a dissatisfaction with the way Science Fiction conventions (cons) have developed in recent years. Those based around Media had eschewed most of the traditional con trappings and became either expensive seminars with guests from TV shows/movies, or large scale exhibitions with lots to see yet lacking the camaraderie and intimacy of the older style cons. Those based around literature still followed the traditional con pattern, but were geared very much towards “Speculative Fiction” and had little to entice the Movie & TV buff.

We put together a list of all the things we wanted to see and could squeeze into an event of feasible size and budget, and Con 9 is the result. As the title suggests it’s based around the sort of "B" Sci-Fi movies that Deadly Earnest might have screened on TV in the 1960’s. This is a very familiar genre which many of us grew up on and love, but which has not really been covered before at Australian Sci-Fi events.

At Con 9 you'll get to enjoy rekindling your love of classic Sci-Fi with likeminded enthusiasts at an entry price you won’t have to mortgage the house for.

In the immortal words of Criswell the Seer...
