Dragon Con (also Dragon*Con) is a North America multigenre convention, hel annually in Atlanta, Georgia. The 30,000-plus-member convention takes over a six-square block area of downtown Atlanta adjacent to the 1996 Summer Olympics Village, and is hosted by an 850-member volunteer staff. Dragon Con has hosted the 1990 Origins Game Fair and the 1995 North American Science Fiction Convention (NASFiC). Like many World Fantasy Conventions, it is operated by a private corporation, and has been the subject of considerable controversy by a small segment of SMOF fandom since it has been scheduled on Labor Day Weekend, which is often a date for domestic Worldcons. It raises thousands of dollars each year for local and national charities.
