Details from their Website (http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/scc/icsf/frameset.php?warp=picocon):

Picocon 30 will be held on weekend of the 16th and 17th February 2013, in Imperial College Union.

What is Picocon?
Picocon is the annual one-day Science Fiction & Fantasy convention run by the Imperial College Science Fiction and Fantasy Society, ICSF (http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/scc/icsf). It usually takes place on a Saturday in February, in Imperial College's Student Union. We try not to clash with other conventions around the same time.

It is a small (hence the name), affordable and convenient convention for students and fans in or near London. Registration opens at 10am, with the first scheduled events kicking off at around 10:30. The schedule concludes in the evening.

At a Picocon you will encounter:
  • Guests of Honour doing talks and panels
  • The Destruction of Dodgy Merchandise, typically using liquid nitrogen and an enormous hammer. (You're welcome to bring along donations!)
  • Multiplayer LAN gaming
  • Stalls selling books, ICSF t-shirts, and other stuff
  • Quiz and silly games
  • Student Union bar
