First held in November 2013 as a one-off celebration of the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, WhoFest is now held annually each April. WhoFest is a production of the Dallas Future Society, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation that seeks to promote the advancement of science, literature, and music for all mankind. This is the same organization that has run FenCon, a literary and music oriented general interest science fiction convention, since 2004.[2] ProgrammingNotable features of WhoFest include how-to programming, panels, fan discussions, gaming, a diverse selection of guests, celebrity encounters, a charity auction, a dealers room, "WhoKids" children's programming, trivia contests, concerts, and a dance on Saturday night.[3][4] Many attendees wear costumes as various Doctor Who characters and others.[5] Critical reactionIn June 2013, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram named WhoFest as one of the "red-letter dates for geeks, fans, [and] collectors"[6] as well as one of the signs that Dallas/Fort Worth has become "so geeky".[7] In November 2013, the Dallas Observer called WhoFest "an enjoyable, eye-opening experience".[8] In February 2015, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram declared WhoFest an event that "jumped out and made our nerd hearts go pitter-pat".[9] In April 2015, The Dallas Morning News described WhoFest as a way to "get your geek on" and "a fun event for all Doctor Who fans".[10] Past conventions2013 - WhoFestWhoFest was held November 22–24, 2013, at the Crowne Plaza North Dallas in Addison, Texas. The convention was held on these dates to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the first Doctor Who broadcast in 1963.[11] While the event featured panelists, experts, and fans, there were no celebrity guests from the television series at the convention.[12] Activities included costume contests, discussion panels, videos, WhoKids children's programming, and participation in the live worldwide debut of The Day of the Doctor 50th anniversary special.[13][14][8]Activities in support of Carter BloodCare, that year's designated charity, included a live auction and a blood drive. The convention chair was James Mahaffey. The convention T-shirt was designed by Barry Whitewater and the "50 Years of Doctor Who" poster was created by Keri O'Brien. Forced to cap membership sales at 1,000 due to space limitations in the hotel, WhoFest sold out months in advance, prompting the convention to seek a new home for WhoFest 2.[3] 2015 - WhoFest 2WhoFest 2 and the Irving Invasion was held April 24–26, 2015, at the Westin Dallas/Fort Worth Airport in Irving, Texas.
