Name inspired by, yes, Baskin-Robbins ice cream (but we kept the British spelling of flavours in honor of our convention’s theme)… and it was one of the few convention names we knew we’d eventually want to use during the foundation of the convention in 1989-90, assuming we’d get that far. Christopher Jones designed the TARDIS ice cream cone.

Name inspired by “The Love Boat” (and somewhat by the Doctor Who story “Voyage of the Damned”). We’d wanted to do a nautical/cruise ship theme for many years and it seemed the best time, since we couldn’t come up with anything else with 29 in the title. Christopher Jones designed the lovely TARDIS ship.

Name inspired by the fact that we couldn’t come up with a good name with 27 in it, but we knew we wanted to do a fully updated version of the Gallifrey Underground Railroad map by Shaun Lyon, originally printed as a B&W centerpiece in the booklet for The Twelfth Regeneration, as our program book cover, so it ended up as a train theme.
The 26 Seasons of Gallifrey One
February 13-15, 2015
Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel, Los Angeles, CA
Attendance: 3,828
Guests: John Barrowman, Janet Fielding, Eve Myles, Sophie Aldred, Derrick Sherwin, Carole Ann Ford, Wendy Padbury, Frazer Hines, Naoko Mori, Burn Gorman, Dan Starkey, Jamie Mathieson, Rachel Talalay, Arwel Wyn Jones, Claire Pritchard, Ellis George, Andrew Cartmel, Bruno Langley, Adjoa Andoh, Phil Ford, Terry Molloy, Nick Robatto, Nicholas Briggs, Mike Tucker, Colin Spaull, Danny Hargreaves, Jane Espenson, Matthew Jacobs, W Morgan Sheppard, Jason Connery, Juliet Landau, Alexis Cruz, Angela Bruce, Gabriel Woolf, Ross Mullan, Garrick Hagon, Paul Cornell, David Gooderson, Chase Masterson, Christopher Neame, Marnix van den Broeke, Sarah Louise Madison, Gary Russell, Tony Lee, Peter Anghelides, Jason Haigh-Ellery, David Gerrold, Barbara Hambly, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Claire Huckle, Keith Barnfather, Scott Tipton, Greg Weisman, Christine Boylan, J K Woodward, Richard Starkings, Gillian Horvath, David J Howe, Sam Stone, Charlie Kirchoff, Christopher Jones, Hayden Black, Arnold T Blumberg, Graeme Burk, Robert Smith?, Steve Roberts, Travis Richey, Richard Dinnick, Darin Henry, Alex Engel, Deric Hughes, Craig Miller, Trina Ray, Scott Edgington, Kim Steadman, Sarah Milkovich, Anita Sengupta, Arne Starr, Bridget Landry, Larry Nemecek, David Wise, James Kerwin, Christopher Doohan, Kipleigh Brown, Asia De Marcos, Michele Specht, Kim Stinger, Masasa Moyo, Vanessa Marshall, Stephanie Lemelin, Lolita Ritmanis; with special appearances by Robert Picardo and Nichelle Nichols.
Name and logo inspired by the long run of the original Doctor Who series (1963-1989): twenty-six seasons of fun and adventure.

Name is an homage to “Doctor Who: 25 Glorious Years,” the beloved Doctor Who hardcover book by Peter Haining. Christopher Jones did such an amazing job on the logo for this convention (the first we asked him to do) that we kept it as the official logo for our organization, Gallifrey One Conventions.
The 24 Hours of Gallifrey One
February 15-17, 2013
Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel, Los Angeles, CA
Attendance: 3,578 • Photo Gallery
Guests: Freema Agyeman, Sylvester McCoy, Philip Hinchcliffe, Mark Strickson, Peter Purves, Deborah Watling, Frazer Hines, Ben Browder, Mark Sheppard, Saul Metzstein, Douglas MacKinnon, June Hudson, Anjli Mohindra, Dick Mills, Daphne Ashbrook, Frances Barber, Michael Jayston, Stephen Thorne, Shaun Dingwall, Neve McIntosh, Dan Starkey, Ian McNeice, Nicholas Briggs, John Noble, Nicholas Pegg, Andrew Smith, Nina Toussaint-White, Lisa Bowerman, Chase Masterson, Finn Jones, Gary Russell, Paul Marc Davis, Richard Hope, Jason Haigh-Ellery, Dan Hall, Ed Stradling, Jane Espenson, Ashley Eckstein, Sarah Douglas, Julian Holloway, Julie Caitlin Brown, Andrea Thompson, Tony Lee, Denton Tipton, Joshua Hale Fialkov, Charlie Kirchoff, Blair Shedd, Charlie Ross, Scott Handcock, Len Wein, Marv Wolfman, Brad Bell, Barbara Hambly, Nancy Holder, Peter Anghelides, Sam Stone, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Natalie Morales, Gillian Horvath, David Wise, Craig Miller, Darin Henry, Trina Ray, Steve Roberts, Sarah Milkovich, Bridget Landry, Richard Dinnick, Kim Steadman, Scott Edgington, David J Howe, Richard Dinnick, Travis Richey, Paul Hanley, Graeme Burk, Robert Smith?, Scott Alan Woodard, Paul J Salamoff, Arne Starr, Eric Hoffman.
Name inspired by… well… of course it was going to be 24 hours. We knew in 1990 that if we ever got to #24, this would be the name. The clock face in the logo is actually the Prague Astronomical Clock (Prague Orloj) in the Czech Republic! (The 24 in the logo is an homage to the TV series “24”.)
Gallifrey One’s Network 23
February 17-19, 2012
Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel, Los Angeles, CA
Attendance: 3,183
Guests: Paul McGann, Camille Coduri, William Russell, Louise Jameson, Maureen O’Brien, Mark Sheppard, Caitlin Blackwood, Richard Franklin, Tony Curran, Daphne Ashbrook, Yee Jee Tso, Eric Roberts, W. Morgan Sheppard, Simon Fisher-Becker, Philip Segal, John de Lancie, Toby Haynes, Rich Senior, Daniele Favilli, Eliza Roberts, Nicholas Briggs, Waris Hussein, Barnaby Edwards, Jason-Haigh-Ellery, Gary Russell, Jane Espenson, Doris Egan, John Shiban, Michael Troughton, Beth Chalmers, Lisa Greenwood, Philip Olivier, Nigel Fairs, Travis Richey, Phil Ford, Charlie Ross, Simon Guerrier, Peter Anghelides, Richard Dinnick, Linda Thorson, Jay Acovone, Matt Rippy, Amber Benson, Marv Wolfman, Virginia Hey, Jake McGann, Denton Tipton, Scott Tipton, Josh Fialkov, Matthew Dow Smith, Charlie Kirchoff, Blair Shedd, Richard Starkings, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Gillian Horvath, David Gerrold, Barbara Hambly, Nancy Holder, Debbie Viguie, Larry Nemecek, Kevin Grazier, Steve Roberts, Arnold T. Blumberg, Ruth Wheeler, Jackie Jenkins, Keith Miller, Tim Hirst, Scott Alan Woodard, Trina Ray, Sarah Milkovich, Robert Smith?, Graeme Burk, Aimee Major Steinberger, David Wise, Paul Salamoff, Amy Krell, Lucy Chase Williams, Audry Taylor, Terry Rioux, Craig Miller, Eric Hoffman, and Chris Hardwick.
Name inspired by Max Headroom; logo inspired by old TV test patterns. The con was originally subtitled “20,000 Years into the Future” as in this logo (a phrase also inspired by Max Headroom), but we eventually dropped the subtitle during convention planning as we couldn’t find a way to make it work.
Gallifrey One’s Catch 22: Islands of Mystery
February 18-20, 2011
Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel, Los Angeles, CA
Attendance: 2,186 • Photo Gallery
Guests: Peter Davison, Janet Fielding, Sarah Sutton, Matthew Waterhouse, John Leeson, Frazer Hines, John Levene, Tracie Simpson, Cush Jumbo, Paul Kasey, Neill Gorton, Rob Mayor, Ian McNeice, Gareth Roberts, Waris Hussein, Pamela Salem, Sarah Douglas, Chase Masterson, Alaina Huffman, Jane Espenson, Doris Egan, Phil Ford, Joss Agnew, James Moran, Daphne Ashbrook, Virginia Hey, Daniel Logan, Emilie Ullerup, Larry Niven, Rick Sternbach, Gareth Skelding, Gary Russell, Jason Haigh-Ellery, Clayton Hickman, Barbara Hambly, Tony Lee, Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, Blair Shedd, Gillian Horvath, Richard Starkings, David Gerrold, Denton Tipton, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Jose Molina, Wendy Pini, Nancy Holder, James Kerwin, David J. Howe, Sam Stone, Lars Pearson, Christa Dickson, Richard Dinnick, David Wise, Lynne Thomas, Robert Smith?, Graeme Burk, Courtland Lewis, Darin Henry, Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg, Kevin Grazier, Trina Ray, Sarah Milkovich, Bill Ernoehazy, Paul Salamoff, Audry Taylor, Aimee Major Steinberger, Arne Starr, Craig Miller, Daryl Frazetti, Eric Hoffman, and Chris Hardwick.
Name inspired by the common phrase “catch 22”. The subtitle Islands of Mystery was something Shaun Lyon came up with, along with the name, and he doesn’t remember where is came from… but it made for a lovely stylized map program book cover, and added a nice change of pace in the promotional side of things. (Incidentally, we still think this is the best Gallifrey One convention logo there ever was or ever will be.)
Gallifrey One: Blackjack 21
February 26-28, 2010
Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel, Los Angeles, CA
Attendance: 1,595 • Photo Gallery

Howe, Larry Nemecek, Sam Stone, Arne Starr, Dr. Arnold T Blumberg, Paul J. Salamoff, Richard Dinnick, Aimee Major Steinberger, Audry Taylor, Richard Starkings, Joshua Hale Fialkov, Dr. Robert Gounley, Tanuki Suit Riot, Dr. Jim Busby, Eric Hoffman, Doctor Who: Podshock.
Name inspired by gambling, logo inspired by gambling… lots and lots of gambling. Named in honor of our late colleague Michael Mason, who enjoyed running the blackjack table at our convention casino night parties.
Gallifrey One: 20 To Life
February 13-15, 2009
Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel, Los Angeles, CA
Attendance: 1,347 • Photo Gallery

Name inspired by… well… the criminal justice system (don’t ask) and suggested by Kris Bauer.
Gallifrey One’s Nineteenth Symphony: Opus 2008
February 15-17, 2008
Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel, Los Angeles, CA
Attendance: 1,080 • Photo Gallery

Name inspired by Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, which would have been used ten years prior for #9… but since it was still out there, and nineteen isn’t really easy to use in a title, it stuck. (Matthew Mitchell wanted to call it Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown, but we really didn’t want to jinx our chances.)
The Eighteenth Amendment of Gallifrey One
February 16-18, 2007
Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel, Los Angeles, CA
Attendance: 808 • Photo Gallery
Guests: Colin Baker, Caroline John, Steven Moffat, Terry Molloy, Eric Roberts, Geoffrey Beevers, Maggie Stables, John Levene, Ben Aaronovitch, Mike Tucker, Tom MacRae, Gary Russell, Jason Haigh-Ellery, Paul Cornell, Bill Mumy, Angela Cartwright, Richard Herd, Richard Chaves, France Nuyen, Peter Anghelides, Steve Roberts, Keith Topping, Simon Guerrier, Caroline Symcox, David J Howe, Darin Henry, Scott Alan Woodard, Arnold T Blumberg, Lynn Borden, Hank Garrett, Carol Lynley, Lana Wood, Ursula Burton, Carolyn Edwards, Bill Baggs, Jill Sherwin, Lars Pearson, Christa Dickson, Eric Hoffman, The OFFSTAGE Theatre Group.
Name inspired by Prohibition, logo inspired by the Repeal of Prohibition. And our guests. Lots and lots of guests who like sitting in the bar… Various attempts to do something with 18 led to phrases having to do with being legal, etc., but we couldn’t work the number into the title, hence us backing into the prohibition angle.
Gallifrey One in the Seventeenth (and a half) Century
February 17-19, 2006
Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel, Los Angeles, CA
Attendance: 748 • Photo Gallery
Guests: Louise Jameson, Noel Clarke, Mary Tamm, Philip Olivier, Pamela Salem, David Warwick, John Schwab, Alan Ruscoe, Nicholas Briggs, Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss, Rob Shearman, Paul Cornell, Keith Boak, Gary Russell, Jason Haigh-Ellery, Billy West, Vaughn Armstrong, Tracy Scoggins, Natalija Nogulich, Michael Muhney, Deanna Lund, Don Matheson, Don Marshall, Leonard Stone, William Gregory Lee, David Gerrold, Bob May, Steve Roberts, Caroline Symcox, James Swallow, David Bishop, Nev Fountain, Keith Topping, Scott Alan Woodard, Darin Henry, Ian Hallard, Jon de Burgh Miller, David J. Howe, Arne Starr, Anna Wilding, Ursula Burton, Arnold T Blumberg, Roxy Darr, Bill Blair, Jill Sherwin, Bill Baggs, Eric Hoffman.
Name inspired by Duck Dodgers and was pretty much decided by committee. Logo inspired by the revived Doctor Who series; we liked the concept a lot more than its eventual execution.
The Sixteen Swashbucklers of Gallifrey One
February 18-20, 2005
Airtel Plaza Hotel, Van Nuys, CA
Attendance: 737 • Photo Gallery
Guests: Elisabeth Sladen, Katy Manning, Nicholas Courtney, Richard Franklin, Terrance Dicks, Barry Letts, Robert Shearman, Paul Cornell, Jason Haigh-Ellery, Gary Russell, Lisa Bowerman, Amber Benson, Toby Longworth, Simon A.

Name largely inspired by the fact that none of us could come up with a good name (as nobody wanted the angst surrounding The Sixteen Candles of Gallifrey One) but we had talked for years about doing a pirate-themed convention. We think Suze Campagna suggested the final name but we’re not sure. But we definitely had the pirates!
Gallifrey One’s Fifteen Minutes of Fame
February 13-16, 2004
Airtel Plaza Hotel, Van Nuys, CA
Attendance: 742 • Photo Gallery
Guests: Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy, Janet Fielding, Paul Darrow, Yee Jee Tso, India Fisher, Jason Haigh-Ellery, Gary Russell, Susannah Harker, Philip Segal, Danny Strong, Robia LaMorte, John Ainsworth, Helen Baggs, Lee Binding, David Bishop, Bill Blair, Jonathan Blum, Arnold T.

Fontana, Virginia Hey, Clayton Hickman, David Howe, Steve Johnson, Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier, Bob May, Mojo, Iona Morris, Kate Orman, Len Wein, Stuart Pankin, Lars Pearson, Tessa Shaw, Robert Sheckley, Jill Sherwin, Brinke Stevens, James Swallow, Caroline Symcox, Andrea Thompson, Keith Topping, Camden Toy, Robert Trebor, Eric Hoffman.
Name inspired by the legendary Andy Warhol and suggested by many parties. The logo was designed to be fun and very much a 70s throwback, and yes, the font we used is indeed the font used on The Price is Right.
Gallifrey One: Episode XIV – The Faction Paradox
February 14-17, 2003
Airtel Plaza Hotel, Van Nuys, CA
Attendance: 760 • Photo Gallery
Guests: Peter Davison, Colin Baker, India Fisher, Caroline Morris, Andrea Thompson, Virginia Hey, Linda Harrison, David Franklin, Kathryn Leigh Scott, Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, Brinke Stevens, Julia Nickson, Jeff Conaway, Neil Dickson, James C. Leary, Bob May, Julie Caitlin Brown, Mark Rolston, Gary Russell, Jason Haigh-Ellery, David J. Howe, Stephen James Walker, Mark Donovan, Clayton Hickman, Robert Trebor, Maggie Egan, Lisa Wilcox, Andras Jones, Celeste Yarnall, Kathy Garver, Herb Jefferson Jr., David Gerrold, Bill Blair, Lance Parkin, Kate Orman, Jonathan Blum, Peter Anghelides, Nev Fountain, Paul Cornell, Caroline Symcox, Lloyd Rose, David McIntee, Dale Smith, Keith Topping, Paul Ebbs, Mark Wright, Jon de Burgh Miller, Daniel Harcourt, Bill Baggs, Laura Palmer, Karen Parks, Lars Pearson, Arnold T Blumberg, Keith Hartman, Jill Sherwin, Eric Hoffman.
Name inspired by Faction Paradox from the BBC Doctor Who novels and spinoff audios; logo inspired by the Star Wars prequel trilogy. The name was suggested in a fit of pique by Shaun Lyon, who now disowns it as the worst Gallifrey One convention name of all time. There is no truth to the rumor that “The Fourteenth Peanut” suggested by Diana Dougherty and Suze Campagna was ever given any serious consideration, though in retrospect, maybe that wouldn’t have been such a bad idea… Fourteen is a really irritating number.
The Thirteenth Floor of Gallifrey One
February 15-18, 2002
Airtel Plaza Hotel, Van Nuys, CA
Attendance: 696 • Photo Gallery
Guests: Carole Ann Ford, Frazer Hines, Anneke Wills, Maggie Stables, Mira Furlan, Judson Scott, Gordon Michael Woolvett, Keith Hamilton Cobb, Virginia Hey, Mark McDonnell, Dan Freedman, Jason Haigh-Ellery, Celeste Yarnall, Bob May, Julie Caitlin Brown, Marjorie Monaghan, Richard Lynch, Nicholas Briggs, Philip Segal, Robert Trebor, Mojo, Betsy Baker, Sarah York, Iona Morris, Andras Jones, Bill Baggs, Keith Barnfather, Jonathan Blum, Keith Topping, Paul Cornell, Paul Ebbs, David J. Howe, Rob Shearman, Caroline Symcox, Dave Stone, Beata Pozniak, Carrie Dobro, Stephen Austin, Bill Blair, Lisa Getto, Joe Reinkemeier, Robert Engels, Ashley Miller, Zack Stentz, Ethlie Ann Vare, Carleton Eastlake, Dave Owen, Emily Skopov, Jim Swallow, Marc Scott Zicree, Elaine Zicree, Keith Hartman, Nigel Fairs, Paul J. Salamoff, Nev Fountain, Paul Condon, Arnold T. Blumberg, Jeff Cioletti, Steve Johnson, Jill Sherwin, Martin Trickey, Rob Francis, Phideaux Xavier, Laura Palmer, Eric Hoffman.
Name inspired by the SF/horror film “The Thirteenth Floor” and the paranoia around the number 13. We think this was suggested by either Alan Hale or Matt Mitchell.
The Twelfth Regeneration of Gallifrey One
February 23-25, 2001
Airtel Plaza Hotel, Van Nuys, CA
Attendance: 778 • Photo Gallery
Guests: Bonnie Langford, Mark Strickson, Sarah Sutton, India Fisher, Lisa Bowerman, Justin Richards, Jason Haigh-Ellery, Alistair Lock, David J.

Blumberg, Simon Bucher-Jones, Stephen Cole, Paul Cornell, Sue Cowley, Gary Gillatt, Craig Hinton, Chris Howarth, Steve Lyons, Jon De Burgh Miller, Dave Owen, Lance Parkin, Lars Pearson, Steve Roberts, Philip Segal, Dave Stone, Keith Topping, Nick Walters, Mojo, Mira Furlan, Brad Dourif, Peter Woodward, Robert Trebor, Jeffrey Willerth, David Allen Brooks, Tim Choate, Denise Gentile, Marjean Holden, Daniel Dae Kim, Herb Jefferson Jr., Richard Hatch, Marjorie Monaghan, Iona Morris, Maggie Egan, Bob May, Beata Pozniak, Larry Niven, Frank Kelly Freas, Mark Altman, Stephen Austin, Bill Blair, Jeff Cioletti, Steve Kriozere, Matt Kiene, Robert Burnett, Joe Reinkemeyer, Steve Melching, Kay Reindl, Mark Allen Shepherd, Jill Sherwin, Zack Stentz, Ashley Miller, Ethlie Ann Vare, Dan Vebber, Harry Werksman, Gabrielle Stanton, John Bro Wilkie, Eric Hoffman.
Name inspired by what used to be the Doctor’s final renewal, suggested by Christian McGuire… An earlier idea for a convention name was The Twelve Days of Gallifrey One, but we didn’t want anyone to hold us to the advertising.
The Eleventh Hour of Gallifrey One
February 18-20, 2000
Airtel Plaza Hotel, Van Nuys, CA

Name inspired by the Doctor Who story and suggested by Shaun Lyon; logo inspired by “Space: 1999”. In order to pay homage to the 70s TV show, this is the only time the word Gallifrey appears in a convention logo without One immediately following it (on the top line); however, the official convention name didn’t include that part. Our original plan was to call this event The Ten Commandments of Gallifrey One, but we later thought that might get us into trouble.

Gallifrey One was named after an earlier, aborted convention attempt in Ottawa, Canada in the 1980s by our co-founder Robbie Bourget. The logo inspired by multiple SF genres popular at the time, and was hand-drawn by Shaun Lyon (including the lettering). Many years later, Bob Mitsch gave us a cleaned up, electronic version of the original drawing, for which we are very grateful.
All of our convention logos were designed by Shaun Lyon, except #25. Art design for #28-31, and the full logo design for #25, was by Christopher Jones.
