Contagion: Outbreak is the Midwest's newest pop-culture expo and convention held at the Qwest Center Omaha beginning June 10th through the 12th, 2011! Our ultimate goal, and what we strive for during every planning session, is to be more than the typical sci-fi convention. We've decided to recognize and celebrate multiple genres including sci-fi, fantasy, horror, anime, and more! There will be a large exhibitor presence, celebrities, interactive panels, displays, artists, authors, and more gaming than you can imagine!

: Some unfortunate news. Chandler Riggs, Travis Charpentier, Alyssa Gruhn, and Laura Vaughn will be unable to join us this weekend due to scheduling. However, we have arranged for some replacements I think you'll be happy with: Richard LeParmentier of Star Wars fame, and Cindy Morgan - best known for her work on Caddyshack and the original Tron movie!
