I’ve been following ImagiCon for a few months. I was told that this Con’s name is different (ImagiCon instead of OmegaCon) because the guy who owned the OCon name is no longer associated, but had rights to the name, hence the name change. There seems to be a bigger volunteer basis this year and they already have released the schedule, something that didn’t happen last year.
Here’s their MySpace:

Looks like they are also offering some great late-night entertainment too.

It’s funny, just a day or so after I posted this, my husband and I were watching Bones and in that particular episode, they attended a con named ImagiCon. LOL!

I heard about ImagiCon from a UAB professor and I was wondering how Birmingham was going to support another similar Con. Perhaps they changed the name because there was already another OmegaCon, which made it easy to go the wrong website, etc.

[...] Their website appears to be receiving constant updates and it sounds like something that wants to be a part of the local scene for some time to come. It’s already got some folks excited, like Nicki. [...]
