2014 had a boatload of conventions, and 2015 looks to be following the same trend. We've had a convention listing over here, but it's time to rebuild it for the next season!
For those out there running one, the same template as last year will be used. Information on submitting that can be found over here.
We are also adding tags for each convention for easy lookup on recent news. If you want to follow updates on one, be sure to bookmark it!
Now get some headlines for this convention compilation:
