- Acclaimed Program featuring over a hundred writers, artists & scientists
- Exciting Art Show and Hucksters Room
- Varied Con Suite, evening events and parties
Meet an impressive array of well-known figures in the field, including writers, artists, editors, publishers, musicians, scientists, gamers, bloggers, conrunners, reenactors, and fanzine editors. The longest-running SF con in New England, Boskone usually attracts more than 1000 fans and pros for a weekend of panels, readings, kids activities, demonstrations, small-group discussions, filksinging, videos, games and more!
Our innovative no-boundaries layout is designed to stimulate conversation between friends (old and new), and to support a warm, family-friendly, fannish community. Join us as we explore the worlds of the human imagination all served up with a dash of whimsy!
