About CONtraflow

CONtraflow is a fan convention held in the Greater New Orleans area.

It focuses on science fiction, fantasy, comics, and related literary genres in any form, including but not limited to writing, visual arts, dramatic arts, and interactive fiction.

Room Parties

CONtraflow will sponsor several room party contests with categories such as Best Cocktail, Best Decorations, Best-In-Show among others and those sponsoring parties will have the opportunity to compete for fabulous prizes.

Charity

In fulfillment of CONtraflow’s mission to promote all types of Science Fiction and Fantasy literature, the CONtraflow Board of Directors are thrilled to announce that New Orleans Public Library is our convention charity. We hope to not only support the goals of New Orleans Public Library in serving the reading interests of the greater New Orleans area but also in promoting literacy to build a better New Orleans.

Hotel Info

CONtraflow is pleased to announce our convention hotel will be the Clarion Inn New Orleans Westbank in Gretna, Louisiana — just 3 short miles from the historic French Quarter.

Rooms will be available at a very reasonable price of $83/night (plus tax) for CONtraflow attendees.
