I honestly doubt an SE Convention could function, at least not on it's own. Maybe grouped with a Trek or general Sci-Fi Convention.
To do so, we would have to find a way to boost SE ten fold with books, toys, clothing, and more. Franchise the game!
I'm talking to a friend up in Vancouver about an idea that could do so... Once I render the project possible on my time tables, I'm going to submit it to Malfador & Shrapnel for thier thoughts and hopefully a blessing.
