Conflux 4, 28 September To 1 October 2007
Conflux 4 was chaired by Nicole R Murphy and featured eight guests: Graham Joyce, Kevin J Anderson, Rebecca Moesta, Garth Nix, Simon Brown, Jonathan Strahan, Kaaron Warren and Donna Maree Hanson.
Conflux 4 featured 12 workshops, a short story competition, mass book signing, a Regency Gothic banquet and a masquerade.
The convention began with a series of workshops on Friday, followed by the opening ceremony and the great debate, during which it was decided that the evil overlord is more interesting than the weapon-wielding hero. Throughout the weekend, more than 50 panels took place, all of which have been podcast at the Conflux website http://www.conflux.org.au
