Chicon III / Worldcon 1962

August 31 - September 3, 1962

Science Fiction Convention

The 20th World Science Fiction Convention, also known unofficially as Chicon III (less frequently, Chicon II), was held August 31-September 3, 1962, at the Pick-Congress Hotel in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Because the second Worldcon held in Chicago was officially called, in its publications, the 10th Annual World Science Fiction Convention and not Chicon, the next Chicago Worldcon held in 1962 was occasionally referred to as Chicon II, though Chicon III is the generally accepted and preferred nomenclature.
The chairman was Earl Kemp. The guest of honor was Theodore Sturgeon. The toastmaster was Wilson Tucker.
