Information:	Conbust is a sci-fi, fantasy, anime convention run by Smithies. This three-day event is meant to allow sci-fi fans and the like the chance to enjoy their interests together. Such events as panels, workshops, and movies are held to strengthen the community, particularly that which is found right on campus. This sci-fi convention, though it shares common features of other cons, is a primarily focused on the female sci-fi community (surprised?) This theme of female sci-fi fans is demonstrated through our woman guest speakers, panels that discuss this community and the challenges it faces, as well as having a predominantly female attendance(which is very rare in the convention world).
