DREAMCON



June 11th-13th, 2004
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.
