Convergence started in Chicago (and went back for its 10 year anniversary), and has also been to Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, New Orleans, Montreal, New York, San Diego, Toronto, and Las Vegas.

Convergence 12 will be held in New Orleans, April 13-16, 2006. Convergence 5 also took place here, and was one of the most memorable. We're a different committee this time, and we're thrilled to have been offered the opportunity to organize what we're sure will be an event to remember. Join us for the wild ride ahead.

Hotel Monteleone is the official hotel. The hotel is a four star, world-class hotel located IN the French Quarter. It's a New Orleans landmark and has been a backdrop in literary works from such notables as Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams. It's actually one of three hotels designated in the United States as a literary landmark. In addition, the hotel is the home of a number of ghost stories and in March 2003, the International Society of Paranormal Research spent several days investigating Hotel Monteleone. While at the hotel, the team made contact with more than a dozen earthbound entities.
