The LFS will celebrate its 20th anniversary by sponsoring its first
national conference May 25-27, 2001, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel
and Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio .

"LFScon" will be part of Marcon 36, Ohio's oldest and largest science
fiction and fantasy convention which annually attracts more than
3,000 writers, editors, artists, film actors, filkers, costumers,
gamers and fans from across the country and Canada.

LFScon/Marcon 36 has more Prometheus Awardwinning novelists than any
other libertarian or sf event in history!

More than four dozen guests have been confirmed for LFScon/Marcon,

Hogan (Voyage From Yesteryear, The Multiplex Man), Grand Master Poul
Anderson (Trader to the Stars, The Stars Are Also Fire, The Star

sf fans from across the country at LFScon, one of the few libertarian
conferences whose primary focus will be cultural rather than
political and whose primary purpose will be to have fun!
