Fcd Events

FCD Events in partnership with MGM’s Stargate Command & Legion M are once again extremely proud to officially announce we will once again be supporting Mind with any event profits, raffles and auction money raised being donated to this wonderful mental health charity.
Mental health is no laughing matter with depression, anxiety, PTSD among just a few of the forms of this illness affecting millions of people with more & more people needing help.
We also hope to have official representatives from Mind in attendance at Cal Mah to give a talk about the work they do.

So this year we celebrate 25 years of #Stargate Along with our friends over Stargate Command we’d love to know what you love about Stargate? Also, what are your hopes for the future of Stargate?

We’ve been asked many times exactly who Stargate Command are especially here in The UK & Europe. Many people did not know or understand that they are actually owned & run by Metro Goldwyn & Meyer Studios who are responsible for the awesomeness that is The Stargate franchise.
FCD Events are extremely proud to be one of very few to be partners with The SGC as we bring you Europe’s only dedicated pure Stargate event “Cal Mah”(further details about Cal Mah can be found on this... page)
The SGC will once again be attending Cal Mah and if last year is anything to go by then wow, it will be fun!
The SGC also have their very own app that contains the entire Stargate back catalogue including the original movie as well as Origins!
Stargate Command are launching some awesome new content for their app so go check it out..............

This was my first fcd event on Sunday and I had such a great time. All the guests were funny and welcoming. The talks were great! I just wish I had gone Friday and Saturday as I now feel like I missed out on so much more!! Please can you try and get Andrea Thompson next year?!! I would buy a VIP ticket for that � but seriously i am really thinking of doing that anyway. If there is one next year.

This was my first FCD event and I was there briefly Friday night, Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday. It was amazing meeting the guest speakers, the event staff and all the fans who did attend. The staff were awesome, friendly and helpful. I had a great time to be honest.

This was a great event! For me personally it showcased my 3 fave shows - B5, Star Trek & Stargate. I attended all the talks which were all great in their own way! The photoshoots were well organised & painless! The icons party was really good too! The venue was excellent with The International Centre being placed in a great spot with plenty of food, drink & extra entertainment options!

The last FCD event we attended was amazing. It was our first convention and we are so happy to be back again.FCD really do make you feel like family and they put on events of the highest quality.

Thank you for yet another great experience that my family will always remember.

The entire weekend was awesome from start to finish! I got to sing with the great John. G Hertzler and the legend that is Robert Picardo. I enjoyed meeting the wonderful John Carrigan who is a true gentleman in every sense of the word, and a hell of a dancer to boot. He is also inspirational and can inspire the uninspired. Bruce Boxleitner had some fantastic stories to share, and he and his lovely wife are charming. And can't forget the great Aron Eisenberg, the amazing Claudia Christian, and definitely not the amazingly down to earth David Blue and Rainbow Sun Francks, who were truly incredible. David and Wil, the event you put on was truly amazing. Be proud and hold your head up high. So say all of us!

One of the most friendly cons i have been to you get loads of one on one time with the guests. In a word amazing

Oh man, what a great weekend Out of the Ashes 2.0 was! It was the perfect convention - best one I've been to. I won't do it justice. Small, intimate, with great guests, and great attendees. The guests were all unbelievably friendly and cool - in the face of fairly heavy fandom. I loved that they treated us as people, really friendly. And it was terrific to just mix with them. All the guests were excellent: humble, friendly, welcoming, interesting, funny. Their talks were fantastically entertaining too. A lasting image will be Robert Picardo on the dancefloor at the Kyber Crystal Party!



I also couldn't get over how friendly the attendees were. There was a real sense of goodfeeling and togetherness, whether it was being lent a blaster, getting a nod from a ghostbuster, or being stabbed by a batleth.



The organisers were also excellent. One of the helpers actually remembered me from "Out of the Ashes 1.0" last year, and I was impressed that one of the two chief organisers asked me if I was having a good time. Those were nice touches and it made the organisation feel really personal. It's a real pity that this is the last event they plan for a while. I sincerely hope they do more!



Despite feeling buoyant, I was also surprisingly sad and emotional to leave, which was perfect (the fantastic "Come and get your love" from the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack was playing as I left the main event hall, and that was a good song to end on). It was certainly a melancholic drive back. I had said heartfelt goodbyes to perfect strangers. We had briefly existed in a wonderful bubble of nerdery where we celebrated the things we loved, where we could be ourselves, and where we could be with people like ourselves. It was a shame to go back to reality. Thanks for creating the memories!

Many thanks for persevering and setting up an alternative to the 2 day event that you had planned. I wish you the best of luck getting appropriate permissions to host an event next year!



I’ve attended a few conventions now over the years, from fantastically intimate Pages Bar events, through to Wolf Events, Sean Harry, “Destination Star Trek”, Showmasters, the Peterborough event and Creation in London/Vegas/LA.



I was really impressed with the short queues and sound (I know you couldn’t operate more than one microphone, but the important thing was that there was decent sound).



The atmosphere was also much more friendly than the Destination/Creation events. I don’t know if you’ve ever come across Neil Roberts? He used to VC/compare the Firefly events and it would be great if you could use him in the future. He was hilarious (note, I am not Neil Roberts trying to get a job!).



One opportunity for improvement would have been to have had the actors signing tables/exhibitor tables moved into one of the side rooms (or the foyer where the captains chairs were). This was due to the loud voices of people around the perimeter which often made it difficult to hear and the rumble was continuous. Obviously you can’t ask any of the guests to keep quiet, but it would have been better to have kept the talks to only the one room.



Another could have been to use the actors a bit more. A lot of them could have talked for a bit longer and there were several lulls in the programme that they could have talked for. JG’s talk in particular was cut short.



Also, when the event changed to a 1 dayer and was “cancelled”, I never received any emails telling me about the change in venue. It was only when I was searching for a programme the other month that I discovered the event had been changed.....



In summary though, many thanks for the event day. It was really appreciated that you and the special guests went to a lot of effort to make the event fun, engaging and low cost for us attendees. (Free and ample car parking - wow!). Good luck for next year's event.

Loved the last FCD event I went to - it was also my 8yo son's first con and he absolutely had a great time. I am very much excited about the up and coming 2017 convention. If FCD are running the event, you must go, you'll have a lot of fun.

It would be quicker to say what I do not like...

.

Mmm

.

Errrr

.

Oh... I can't think of anything I do not like about it... I just love it and the people who run it, who now treat me as part of their extended family <3

I went with my brother in law and it was so personal, amazing weekend, I attended the Sunday, I've attended two conventions and this is the best by far. Thank you so much to fcd and wil and david, come back in 2019 :-)

I love FCD events, I went to one of their events when they were held at the space centre and loved it then, I can't wait for this years, well done guys. 5*

How i haven't left a review i really don't know! Everything about FCD Events is amazing! From the people helping run the event to the stalls and location. They always have lots to do and a great selection of tickets to suit everyone!

Fcd is the best organization I've seen so far for convention :D

Fcd has got to be one of the best events I have been to, the organisers are brilliant and also the team that works with everyone to make sure they have a great time

FCD was my first non-comic convention and the first cosplay experience for me. I was welcomed from the moment I entered and it felt like coming home. It's not only interacting up close and personal with people we've admired on the screen, but knowing I can strike up a conversation with pretty much anyone there and I will be accepted. Some of my best friends I made at at FCD. It's also the vibe...there's a happy, chilled, friendly vibe that you just can't find anywhere else and it's attractive, like a magnet. I've been to several other conventions since, some of which were truly appalling where it was made clear that my money was all they were after and I was made to feel like cattle. FCD is fan-run, it's warm, it's comfortable, they go out of their way to make it the best experience they can. I've made a family here and when we're not together we all miss each other and can't wait until the next gathering. It's special like that. <3

FCD for me is more biased than most i guess because im a member of the FCD team, FCD by all accounts is one of the most personal, friendly and welcoming of UK based Sci Fi events. what originally started out as a Star Trek related event has over the years opened up to the wider Sci Fi genre.

To give a review from my point, the FCD team are extremely friendly, very helpful and can't do anymore to engage with all guests and visitors, FCD is the perfect event for those who are new to events, perhaps slighlty nervous about attending and the Veteran event attender,



I hope anyone who reads this review finds it helpful, feel free to inbox me if you require any further advise or have any questions with regard FCD.

FCD Events is always a great way to enjoy the shows we love. Make new friends and have a great geeky holiday.

Could only do Sunday but had a good time. Takes me back years to when there were only fan run con's. Guests very relaxed and able to get good seats for the panels. Thanks guys .

It's not only interacting up close and personal with people we've admired on the screen, but knowing I can strike up a conversation with pretty much anyone there and I will be accepted. Some of my best friends I made at at FCD. It's also the vibe...there's a happy, chilled, friendly vibe that you just can't find anywhere else and it's attractive, like a magnet. I've been to several other conventions since, some of which were truly appalling where it was made clear that my money was all they were after and I was made to feel like cattle. FCD is fan-run, it's warm, it's comfortable, they go out of their way to make it the best experience they can. I've made a family here and when we're not together we all miss each other and can't wait until the next gathering. It's special like that. <3

FCD for me is more biased than most i guess because im a member of the FCD team, FCD by all accounts is one of the most personal, friendly and welcoming of UK based Sci Fi events. what originally started out as a Star Trek related event has over the years opened up to the wider Sci Fi genre.

To give a review from my point, the FCD team are extremely friendly, very helpful and can't do anymore to engage with all guests and visitors, FCD is the perfect event for those who are new to events, perhaps slighlty nervous about attending and the Veteran event attender,



I hope anyone who reads this review finds it helpful, feel free to inbox me if you require any further advise or have any questions with regard FCD.

FCD Events is always a great way to enjoy the shows we love. Make new friends and have a great geeky holiday.

Could only do Sunday but had a good time. Takes me back years to when there were only fan run con's. Guests very relaxed and able to get good seats for the panels. Thanks guys .
