The publishers of Amazing Stories magazine and the producers of RavenCon announce a partnership to create an epic milestone in Science Fiction Fandom!

On March 10, 1926, the world’s first magazine devoted exclusively to the publication of Science Fiction—Amazing Stories—was released to newsstands. Not only did that first issue offer us the original definition of our genre, it would go on to support the creation of Science Fiction Fandom. Its cover art would set the bar for SF illustration, its stories would inspire technological advancement and innovation, and the community it helped to create would come to dominate popular culture.

You can’t live in this world without being touched by Science Fiction’s influence. And now you have the unprecedented opportunity to join your fellow Fans in celebrating the first 100 Years of the Science Fiction Age!

Lists of potential guests, special events, displays, and programming subjects are currently being planned, as are merchandise and crowdfunding platforms to help us make this the biggest, most exciting, and out-of-this-world celebration of Science Fiction that the world has ever seen!
