EastLeap was a Quantum Leap convention.

It appears there were at least two of them, one in 1994 and one in 1996.

One mention:

EastLeap is October 21–23 in Essington, PA (just north of Philadelphia). Send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to EastLeap, CJR Press, 733 Turnpike Ave., Suite 117, North Andover, MA 01845 for details. Response has been slow from this group; I guess they think they still have lots of time. [1]

A fan said to others:

Thinking of attending EastLeap in (Oct?). Looking for other slash-minded fans also going who'd like to get together for a room party where we can sleaze to our heart's content in privacy. Will also be looking for roommate. [2]
