Welcome to the wonderful world of WonderCon programming!
Once again, we’re pleased to present an incredible schedule of panel discussions, publisher presentations, movie previews, television series events, and much more. Our Friday and Saturday schedules include special nighttime programming, including the premieres of two brand-new DVD films: Appleseed: Ex Machina on Friday, and Justice League: The New Frontier on Saturday. Also on Friday evening, the ever-popular Star Wars Fan Films return with a new presentation: "Last Film Standing," featuring some of the all-time favorite films entered into the competition. The WonderCon Masquerade returns for its fourth big year on Saturday night. As always, your WonderCon membership badge gets you in to these events for free, while seating is available.

WonderCon 2008: The Gang's All Here!
San Francisco's most popular event offers the full convention experience!
In addition to a giant Exhibit Hall and a program schedule featuring the best and brightest in comics, movies and television, WonderCon offers fans of all genres an incredibly complete convention experience. From anime to gaming to a fun night at the Masquerade, WonderCon has it all!
WonderCon Anime
In 2007, WonderCon screened close to 60 different anime titles in its all-day (and into the night!) anime screening room. Most of the major U.S. anime distributors-including AnimeEgo, ADV Films, Bandai, FUNimation, Media Blasters, The Right Stuf, and VIZ Media-offered a diverse and popular schedule of titles. Anime returns to WonderCon in 2008 with another incredible schedule of screenings.

Gaming returns to WonderCon in 2008 with its own special area in the Exhibit Hall. Bring your own favorite games to play in this relaxed atmosphere that caters to both the newbie and seasoned player. The WonderCon Gaming Staff will run special games and gaming companies stop by to offer free demos of their current products. Gaming at WonderCon is the perfect opportunity to take a break, have some fun, and sit a spell before heading back to shopping or that must-see program.

The San Francisco Bay Area Children's Film Festival returns to WonderCon in 2008 for its second big year! This great program of films from around the world takes place all three days of the convention and is the perfect family-friendly destination. In 2007, the Festival showed animated, live-action, and documentary films suitable for all ages and offered hands-on workshops on topics such as animation.
2007 also saw the first-ever WonderCon/Robert A. Heinlein Memorial Blood Drive. Coordinated by the Heinlein Society, the one-day event collected 74 pints of much needed blood for Bay Area patients. The Blood Drive returns in 2008.
WonderCon also features a great Autograph Area, which features some of your favorite celebrities from movies and television. Participating stars in 2007 included Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson, Sara Karloff, Richard Hatch, Chase Masterson, Noel Neill and many others. The Autograph Area returns in 2008 to WonderCon!
