What is SETIcon? It's a public event where science and imagination meet. The first SETIcon brought together noted scientists, science fiction writers, science pundits, amateur astronomers, entertainers, teachers, and hundreds of people with an interest in the question of life beyond our planet. For 2.5 days, people participated in panels, presentations, book signings, and celebrations. More information about the first SETIcon: http://www.seti.org/seticon2010
