Interesting!
At GenCon 2004, Carl Davis is presenting a seminar on creating an adventure suitable for a convention event. The focus is taking an existing campaign module and tailoring it to match the needs of a convention.

I've attended GenCon since the beginning of the 90's. In this time, I've enjoyed many seminars and events. At some point, I decided to do my own events; primarily after having several game masters cancel events with little notice.
Believe me (and the other people waiting patiently), this wasn't fun. So I decided to run my own events. Most have been based on D&D and DragonLance. I've run many of the same events over the years.
Below is a list of links to some of the descriptions for events I've run over time.
Thanks,
Carl
