Follow on Google News | New Convention Website Connects Fans With Conventions And RoommatesA new website, UpcomingCons.com, lists hundreds of anime, game, comics, and science fiction conventions, and also allows users to sign up to find hotel roommates.
By: UpcomingCons.com Ryan Kopf, a board member for the fan organization Mindbridge Foundation, began working on UpcomingCons.com and developing features in late June 2009. Kopf wanted to create a resource that would enhance fandom over multiple genres, but especially help anime fans. “I think convention attendees have always needed a good, reliable place to find upcoming conventions,” UpcomingCons.com lists conventions around the world, although most are focused in North America The most unique feature of UpcomingCons.com is easily the convention roommate system. Every year thousands of convention attendees look for people to share rooms with, to help offset the typically high cost of having a room at a convention hotel for three nights. Any fan can register for an account, go to the page of their favorite convention, and sign up to find hotel space, or to offer their hotel space for others. Other users who does the same thing will have a chance to see who else will be going to the same convention. “We help connect the people together who might want to share rooms, but they do the communication and arrangements themselves,” ABOUT UPCOMINGCONS.COM: UpcomingCons.com Conventions Listed: 204 Registration Cost: None # # # ABOUT UPCOMINGCONS.COM: End
