Farpoint is an American science-fiction convention held since 1993 in Hunt Valley, Maryland.[1][2] The convention is fan-run, differentiating it from larger, profit-making ventures. Typical programming includes panel discussions, a competitive masquerade, fan videos, an art show, filking[3] and celebrity guest appearances. It is a successor convention to ClipperCon[4](1984-1989) and OktoberTrek (1990-1992). The most recent Farpoint was held on February 8–10, 2019.[5]
