A large general-interest convention put on by the Houston Science Fiction Association. Besides the usual and expected events, it will feature a writer's workshop and dance.
2008 Guests:

Editor Guests of Honor -- Gavin Grant & Kelly Link. ApolloCon's Web site didn't have a bio for them as of the posting of this article, but a quick check of Google determined that they run Small Beer Press and co-edit St. Martin's Press's Year's Best Fantasy and Horror with Ellen Datlow.
