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 all their myriad interests. Some of the activities during the convention include role-playing games, live action roleplaying, filmmaking panels, a room party competition, late night dances, art show and dealers' room, the masquerade, and a hospitality suite.
