This site was started in 2003, several years before The ConRunner's Wiki project was started, back when you couldn't easily find information of this nature online, especially not relative for a convention as small as The Gathering. This site remains a work in progress, and I encourage anyone with suggestions to add - especially those of you who have been involved in a convention staff in the past - to email me with your contributions at Lynati_1(at)hotmail.com
