Envisioned by convention expert and steampunk costumer, Bill Harrison, the Atlanta Steampunk Expo (ASE) held its initial convention in November 2017. Run by a friendly, experienced staff, the convention wisely started small and was effectively a Saturday-Sunday convention that included a “soft opening” on Friday night. Although it started small, ASE still attracted top-notch talent in costumers, guests, and vendors. Attendees enthusiastically welcomed the new convention and await its return.
