ConDor (convention)
ConDor is an annual science fiction convention with an emphasis on film and television media held in and around San Diego, California in the early spring. It is sponsored by the California Association for the Advancement of Speculative Media, a California non-profit corporation. ConDor is the oldest science fiction convention in San Diego.

History
The most successful of San Diego's science fiction conventions, ConDor is the culmination of years of dedication and experience. The convention seeks to be all things to all persons, and thus is dedicated to science fiction and fantasy; to art, literature, and media; to serious scholarship and just plain fun. The first ConDor was held in 1993. Author Octavia Butler, and producer/director J. Michael Straczynski were the guests of honor.
