Diversicon 16 , a convention celebrating and exploring multicultural speculative fiction (SF), will be held August 1–3, 2008, at the Holiday Inn Metrodome, 1500 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis (U of M West Bank).

Held in the Twin Cities area every year since its inception in 1992, Diversicon prides itself on presenting distinguished guests of honor and stimulating programming in a welcoming, hospitable atmosphere. Membership for Diversicon 16, which includes all convention activities, is $40 ($30 for students ages 5–21).
