Confluence (convention)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Confluence is an annual science fiction convention that has been occurring in Pittsburgh since 1988.[citation needed]
The ninth annual convention garnered over 400 science fiction fans in 1996.[1][2] The original name was derived from the meaning of confluence, a gathering, and the fact that Pittsburgh is located at the confluence of three rivers.[1]
The event has been organized by the Pittsburgh Area Real Time Science Fiction Enthusiasts Club (PARSEC).[3]
In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the convention was held virtually and called C'monfluence.[4]
