About the convention:

To you,
Dearest Reader,
We dedicate this,
Our Twisted Fairy Tale
So come on,
Run right in,
Get Lost in the Woods.

Once upon a time, long, long ago (eight years ago) but not far, far away, someone had an idea, a notion, a dream. This seed grew, put down roots, extended its branches towards the heavens, blossomed and bore fruit. Thus Itzacon was born. There have been seven such springs, each Itzacon with a unique flavour, to be savoured and enjoyed. This is our eighth, and this year we have decided to get lost in the woods with a twisted fairytale theme.

The Fantasy and Science Fiction Society is very happy to have you here, in our university, and we have a lot of wonderful events, especially for you, because you make this worthwhile.

Conventions are our gift to the gaming community, each one a time to reconnect with old friends or make new ones. To compete or cooperate. To try new things and revisit old favourites. Conventions are where we put down roots and spread our branches. They are a lot of work, but in the end its all worth it.
So Well Come to our convention.
