HAWAIICON - THE DESTINATION CONVENTION GEARS UP FOR 2015

HawaiiCon has announced the official launch of their 2015 convention with an eBay site, Kickstarter campaign, and discounted tickets. In September, HawaiiCon had its inaugural event, three days at the luxurious Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. Right on the beach, they brought celebrities, scores of science panels, workshops and the unique adventures with the stars.

Scores of lucky fans went snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, and to the top of Mauna Kea with their favorite stars. The convention was rated one of the best ever and a post-convention poll found that 97% of the participants plan to return.
