A Fan-Operated Science Fiction and Fantasy Literary and Filk Convention in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area

FenCon is back at the Crowne Plaza for 2008!

Reserve your room at 972-980-8877.

Make reservations: Our room block for FenCon V in the Crowne Plaza is now open. Rooms are available at the great FenCon rate of just $88 per night for one to four guests in a king or double standard room. (Executive suites are sold out. You must call 972-980-8877 and use code FCN when making your reservation. The online reservation system will no longer accept that code but call the hotel directly and they'll be happy to book your room at that great FenCon rate.

Ah, the atmosphere: The hotel has informed us that they are now 100% smoke-free, including in guest rooms.

FenCon will take place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel® North Dallas/Addison. This centrally-located hotel is on Midway Road, just north of I-635/LBJ, and in the heart of the Addison restaurant and entertainment district. With newly-updated guest rooms and suites, larger convention facilities, and all the amenities at reasonable prices, we're thrilled to return to this great location. Plus, they offer a complimentary scheduled shuttle to and from locations within a three mile radius of the hotel.

The hotel provides free wireless broadband internet connections to guests in the lounge area and restaurant. In-room access is available for an additional fee.

"How do I book a room at the FenCon rate?"

As of September 25, you must phone the hotel directly and you must use code FCN to get the special FenCon rate. We have negotiated a rate of just $88 per night for one to four guests in a king or double standard room. All of the "executive suite" rooms are now sold out. These rates do not include the applicable city and state taxes.

"How do I get to the hotel?"

The Crowne Plaza offers a customizable map and driving directions on their corporate website. If you're flying in, while the Crowne Plaza does not offer a free shuttle there are several options available. SuperShuttle offers convenient service for just $18 each way per person from both D/FW and Love Field. Yellow Checker Shuttle offers shared service for $19 each way per person from both D/FW and Love Field. They also offer exclusive service that would be more economical for groups of 4-10 persons.

"Can my group throw a room party?"

We'd love to have you or your group throw a party at FenCon V but we need to have you register with us first. There's a simple form to fill out that lets you know the rules and lets us know you know the rules. Just e-mail the FenCon hotel liaison at hotel@fencon.org for all the details. Thanks!

"Can we get a suite for our room party?"

We hope you booked yours already since the hotel tells us they're sold out for our convention weekend. E-mail the FenCon hotel liaison at hotel@fencon.org if you have any questions.

"I live locally, why should I stay at the hotel?"

• You are supporting the convention. We need to reach a certain number of 'room nights' to keep the cost of the convention space as low as possible.
• It's safer. You don't have to worry about driving home after a long day at the con.
• You have a place to crash during the day, a place to change outfits, and a place to store your many purchases from the dealers room.
