ConCarolinas is a general multi-genre multi-media convention. We called ourselves a sci-fi convention but in truth we cover all speculative fiction - science fiction, fantasy and horror. It hosts a variety of fandom related events and guests, including gaming, discussion panels, costume events, music events like Klingon Karaoke, charity auction, SCA events, fan groups like the 501st Stormtroopers, Starfleet, and Klingon Assault Group, and something different every year.

Boasting an incredible guest list built mainly on reputation and goodwill, HeroesCon is known nationwide as a must on the summer schedule, drawing fans, exhibitors, and creators from every region of the country to the Charlotte Convention Center.
