There are plenty of conventions you must attend because, well, that’s your job. Then there are conventions you must attend because they are experiences you don’t want to miss.
Millions of Americans have become fans of the Harry Potter books and movies. Still others will see just about any science fiction movie playing. There is a little part of each fan that would like to step behind the screen and be part of the action, if only for a few minutes.
Meeting this desire has become an entire industry. After all, who hasn’t seen the photos of the die-hard fans donning pointy Vulcan ears at a local Star Trek event? Whether you are a sci fi fanatic, or just like to people watch, these venues can provide road warriors some much needed weekend entertainment while on an extended business trip.
Traditional science fiction has brought us unforgettable characters that travel to new galaxies and fight off alien species. Although there are some newcomers to the sci fi television series world, Star Trek still remains as popular as ever.

- Stargate SG1 - August convention in Chicago and November convention in Los Angeles
- Farscape - November convention in Los Angeles
- Supernatural - March convention in Los Angeles and October convention in Chicago
One of the most successful types of sci fi genres is the Vampire saga. Popular culture seems to have moved from Buffy to Twilight, New Moon. After all, who could resist a love story between a vampire and a mortal? The Twilight Convention will hit more than 20 cities during 2010. Among these are Houston and Charlotte in April, Minneapolis in June, Indianapolis in July, Sacramento in September and Portland, Oregon in October.
Being on an extended business trip, away from friends and family, can be lonely and stressful. To keep you at the top of your game, you need a comfortable place to stay and some fun things to do on those long trips.
