Convergence (stylized "CONvergence") is an annual multi-genre fan convention. This all-volunteer, fan-run convention is primarily for enthusiasts of science fiction and fantasy in all media.[3] The motto is "where science fiction and reality meet". It is one of the most-attended conventions of its kind in North America, with approximately 6,000 paid members in some years.[3] The 2023 convention was held across four days at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[1]
