Hypericon is a speculative fiction convention held yearly in June in Nashville, Tennessee.[1] Hypericon is presented by Frontiers Nashville, a non-profit organization dedicated to the support of the fannish community and their myriad of interests, and partnered with Make Nashville, a local maker space and producer of the Nashville Mini Maker Faire. The event also supports the Nashville Public Library Foundation as a featured charity in 2017.
Some convention activities include a "premium" consuite, luau, cosplay contest with a $500 prize, role-playing games, live action roleplaying, filmmaking panels, a room party competition, art show, dealers' room, artist and exhibit tables, screening room, "old-school" arcade, maker room, and 24-hour gaming room.
Through 2010, Hypericon was held at the Days Inn Stadium in Nashville. Starting in 2011, the convention moved to the Holiday Inn Express Nashville Airport[permanent dead link], near Nashville International Airport.
