Adam’s Mark Hotel
Jacksonville, FL
Thousands of travelers, art collectors, musical guests, actors,
writers, and fan-boys and girls will be invading Jacksonville the
weekend of June 11th to 13th. In a three day convention DreamCon will
create a family friendly multi-media entertainment event at the Adam's
Mark hotel. With 45,000 square feet of convention space, and a slew of
world-renowned guests, DreamCon will be Florida's largest hotel based
genre convention. And it's all going for a good cause. DreamCon will
not only bring hundreds of thousands of dollars to the up-and-coming
downtown economy, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the American
Diabetes Association.

Beast". Other guests include actor Erin Gray ("Buck Rogers,"
