Kwest Con was a convention that took place in Kalamazoo, Michigan on November 1, 2, and 3 in 1974. The convention ran for at least an additional two years (1975-1976).[1]
Boldly Writing describes the convention: ""KWest*Con was diverse: it did not devote itself exclusively to either science fiction or Star Trek, and the much-rumored hostility between sf and ST fans was totally lacking." KWest*Con was the forerunner of a series of Star Trek conventions in the 1970s that would provide a yearly rendezvous for Star Trek editors, artists, writers, and readers. The tradition continued into the 1980s, in part, by the Media*West Cons."
The program book contains work by Phil Foglio and Ruth Berman, and a short essay by HE, "Dreamsellers" and is 16 pages long.[1]
