Convention Fans:
Upcoming Torchwood / Doctor Who Conventions for 2010 - 2011

Doctor Who, the incredibly famous science fiction franchise based in the UK, has had fandom conventions since the 1970s, and they are still going strong. Although fans can often find Doctor Who programming, events, and guests at general sci-fi cons all over the world, there are some conventions dedicated entirely to the good Doctor, his companions, his movies, TV series, merchandise, spin-off shows, and oh so very much more. Below are some of the upcoming fandom cons dedicated to Doctor Who and Torchwood for 2010 and 2011. This is not a completely exhaustive list, but if you're in the UK or in the USA there's a good chance one of these will be within a reasonable traveling distance for you.
