This NASFiC was held because Yokohama, Japan, was selected as the location for the 2007 Worldcon.[2][3] Tuckercon was dedicated to the memory of Wilson "Bob" Tucker. The convention is also 31st in the series of St. Louis-area conventions known as Archon. Guests of honor
Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett replaced Media guest Mira Furlan who was unable to attend.[1] InformationSite selectionAfter "Nippon in 2007" was selected over the Columbus, Ohio bid as the World Science Fiction Convention to be held in 2007 (as "Nippon 2007" in The Hague),[2] the WSFS Business Meeting directed that a written ballot election be held at Cascadia Con, the then-upcoming 2005 NASFiC in Seattle, Washington, to select a NASFiC site for 2007.[3] The St. Louis bid, originally unopposed, defeated a write-in campaign by a San Jose, California bid with 111 of the 161 votes cast.[4] Committee
