alt.gothic Convergence is the annual party put on by the denizens of alt.gothic for the denizens of alt.gothic and ALL their friends that squishes together hundreds of net.goths from around the globe into a single city for a weekend of socializing, booze, musical events and sweet debauchery.

It started out in 1994 when the regular posters on alt.gothic decided that meeting up was a good idea.

Since then, every year a bunch of people from different cities put together bids to host the thing (I pity the fool...). The bids are then voted on, and the winner gets the job of doing all the work so that the rest of us can have fun (some people have a strange definition of 'win')

Some of the old bids have survived.

Some of the attendees put pictures on the internet. Take a look.

The official drink is a Better Martini. Just in case you were wondering.

Communication about convergence officially happens on alt.gothic, the Afterglow mailing list, and the Convergence LiveJournal Community, it rough order of officialness. During the event, and for a small window around it, ConvergTwit twitter account is used for communication of changes in locations and schedules, calls for public aid, ad hoc events, etc.

Convergence XX will take place in Chicago, IL last weekend of April, 2014.
