Convention Directory and How To Create a Review

[Admin Lily]

In order to make a review, you must create an account on this forum and then fill out this form under the appropriate thread. If your convention does not yet have a thread, just send a message to an admin with:
- the name of the convention and the state (or country and province if not in US)
- a valid website link
and it will be made soon!

In order to search the directory, control+f for your state abbreviation. At the moment, since we have few international conventions reviewed, conventions outside of the US will have their country name written next to them. Canadian conventions will have 'CAN' followed by the two letter abbreviation of the Canadian province.
