CactusCon was the fourth North American Science Fiction Convention, held in Phoenix, Arizona, on September 3–7, 1987, at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix, Adams Hilton, and Phoenix Convention Center. [1] [2] This NASFiC was held because Brighton, England, was selected as the location for the 1987 Worldcon. [3]
After "Britain in '87" was selected over the Phoenix bid as the World Science Fiction Convention to be held in 1987 (as " Conspiracy '87" in Brighton, England), the WSFS Business Meeting directed that a written ballot election be held that afternoon to select a NASFiC site for that year. Essentially unopposed, Phoenix was announced as the winner the next day. [3]
