Malin Huffman and Philip N. Zeman have sent us an email telling us about a Transformers convention called Iacon One. Iacon One will be taking place in July. Here is the information that Malin Huffman and Philip N. Zeman provided us:

The Stasis Lock Group presents:

Iacon One
"Where Things Are Not What They Seem..."

July 7-8, 2006
Grand Wayne Convention Center
Fort Wayne, Indiana

2006 marks the 10th anniversary of "Beast Wars: Transformers", and the 20th anniversary of "Transformers: The Movie" - join the celebration at Iacon One, the fan event of the summer! The countdown has begun...

Iacon One features a wide selection of fan activities and attractions: a dealer room, Q&A panels with special guests from the television, comic book, and toy industries, autographs, souvenirs, art exhibit and contest, the MSTF fan parody team, and much more! A portion of the proceeds raised by Iacon One will be donated to charity.

We are pleased to announce our first special guest- fan favorite writer Simon Furman!

Mr. Furman's extensive writing credits include hundreds of Transformers comic books for Marvel Comics US/UK and Dreamwave, and the final episode of the "Beast Wars: Transformers" television series, "Nemesis, Part 2". His current projects include "Transformers: Generation 1" and "Beast Wars" comics for IDW Publishing.

Iacon One will take place July 7 - 8, 2006 in the Grand Wayne Convention Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the same weekend as the Three Rivers Festival, making a perfect weekend for fun of all sorts!

Iacon One pre-registration for attendees and dealers will be available soon... so in the meantime, reserve July 7-8 on your calendar, and don't miss this unique celebration for Transformers enthusiasts of all ages, produced by fans, for fans!
