Gallifrey One, the annual North American Doctor Who celebration run by the Los Angeles-based Gallifrey Conventions fan group, is the world's longest-running annual Doctor Who convention. Founded in 1989, originally as a convention exploratory committee from the local Southern California fan organization, the Time Meddlers of Los Angeles, Gallifrey One has run a convention every year since its first event in May 1990, and has over time become one of the world's most popular Doctor Who themed events.
With over 300 guests spanning twenty years, Gallifrey One has hosted (with only two exceptions) every single living principal cast member of Doctor Who from the end of the William Hartnell era in 1966, to the end of the classic series in 1989 and the 1996 TV movie. Additionally, we have hosted guests from the new Doctor Who series, its spinoffs Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures, and a variety of genre television series such as Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Farscape, Crusade, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, AlienNation and Lost in Space. Gallifrey One has also become an international event, hosting hundreds of fans from outside the US, as well as attracting dozens of writers of Doctor Who fact and fiction and many science fiction, fantasy and horror producers, writers and technical wizards.
The Gallifrey One conventions are presented by Gallifrey Conventions / Gallifrey One, a subsidiary of The Institute for Specialized Literature, Inc. (ISL), a California 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. The conventions are presented with additional support from the Southern California Institute for Fan Interests (SCIFI) Inc. and the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society (LASFS) Inc..
Gallifrey One: A Prehistory, the story about the founding of the Gallifrey One conventions, is a lengthy document originally written in the mid-2000s which provides a snapshot of the foundation of our event and the struggles that went along with establishing the convention. It documents the early exploratory committees, our issues with our local public television station, our near-fatal financial disaster over our first year's hotel bill, and eventually our rise to prominence as a major Doctor Who event. We hope you enjoy.
Below is a list of Gallifrey One's previous events, starting with the most recent. Our next convention, Gallifrey One: Blackjack 21, will take place in February 2010.
