AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Chicon is the name given to any World Science Fiction Society's (WSFS) convention held in Chicago, USA, and by default so is the name of the official convention program. The first Chicon, and the second-ever WSFS convention, was held in 1940. Since then it has been held approximately every ten years.
