About Us
ConTemporal is a new SF/Steampunk convention serving the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill), being held at the Chapel Hill Sheraton. We are an experiential convention that takes place in the fictional city of "Port Raleigh" using a neo-Victorian storyline to drive action and, ultimately, keep our convention on-trend for years to come. Our first year finds the temporally-challenged port city inadvertently stabilized in the Golden Age of Piracy. Come find out what happens when Steampunk meets Renaissance.
For more information please contact us at info@contemporal.org
