Compared to the pro cons (those held specifically to gain money and not much else)\, Mountain-Con recognizes all forms of participation: roleplaying games\, reading books or comics\, acquiring and displaying various collectibles\, animé and cosplay\, writing/reading/collecting fanfic\, performing community service\, enjoying tv and movies\, live-action role-playing\, collecting autographs and meeting celebrity guests\, collectible card game tournaments\, creating fan films\, joining fan clubs\, filking and other music\, assembling to wear costumes or compete in masquerade contests\, traditional wargaming and miniatures\, creating fanzines and websites–and the list goes on and on. If you want to share your fandom\, let Mountain-Con know and we'll help you promote it. Mountain-Con holds its event every September in or around Salt Lake City\, Utah\, with attendees coming from all over the intermountain west as well as from both coasts and every place in between. Guests have included actors\, authors\, artists--anyone who has contributed to fandom in its many forms. The con[vention] com[mittee] (concom) holds meetings on the first Saturday of each month at the Centerville Library from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.--or later\, usually followed by a stop at a nearby restaurant. These meetings are open to all interested fans\, group leaders\, and volunteers as well as the Mountain-Con voting committee members and trustees. Mountain-Con's concom comprises elected volunteers who constitute the voting committee. This committee\, headed by the convention chair\, handles the day-to-day operations of Mountain-Con. The concom includes the treasurer\, programming chair\, ops officer\, guest liaison\, publicity chair\, security chief\, registration director\, volunteer coordinator\, dealers' room coordinator\, and more. Mountain-Con trustees are the guardians of the convention and participate in voting committee decisions. They hold an annual board meeting to confirm the con chair and authorize the go-ahead for future Mountain-Con events. A minimum of three trustees is required via the con's by-laws and the state of Utah.

Not to slight other media\, but with so many conventions covering movies and television so thoroughly\, we wanted to sharpen our focus and our conversation\, and concentrate on books. We decided that included comic books\, which brought in art\, which lead to us finally limiting what we deal with to things which are basically flat. Our intention is to do this and not take ourselves seriously\, and thus our proud motto: Flat Stuff\; Funny Hats We're in our tenth year now and\, continuing as we have\, we welcome you to come and share the fun.

Readercon is the only small convention regularly attended by such giants of literary sf as Samuel R. Delany\, John Crowley\, Barry N. Malzberg\, and Jonathan Lethem.
