Our History

A History of OASFiS and OASIS.

Over the past 30 some odd years the Orlando Area Science Fiction Society (OASFiS) has run it’s annual convention OASIS. Besides the list below of our headline writers, artists, filk and fans, there have been countless others who appeared on our panels, workshops and signings. We are enormously thankful to everyone who has attended our conventions over the years.
