TimeGate is an annual science fiction / fantasy convention that focuses on Doctor Who and Stargate but also includes programming on a wide range of other sci-fi / fantasy interests. So if you're into Stargate SG-1, Doctor Who, Stargate Atlantis, Torchwood or The Sarah Jane Adventures—or you're excited about the new show Stargate Universe—this is the convention for you! But if not, we'll also have Star Trek, Battlestar, literary, horror and comics programming too, along with many other topics. In 2012, we celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Star Wars and the franchise that that film launched.

1-11-12: It is our great pleasure to announce that TimeGate 2012 will be graced by none other than Caitlin Blackwood, who plays little Amelia Pond in the current seasons of Doctor Who! This will be Caitlin's second North American appearance and the first one the East Coast.

1-5-12: Just announced: The Ken Spivey Band is currently in the studio working on its first Doctor Who-themed Celtic rock album, and plans to debut the new CD at TimeGate 2012! Visit the Events page for more information!

1-1-12: Membership rates have gone up today. You can now purchase your TG '12 Membership for $40 rather than $50 at the door. Save yourself $10 and get yours now! Visit the Membership page for full information.

12-26-11: Been kind of quiet lately, but now that we're moving into the New Year, things will pick back up. And to kick it off, here's two new guests to announce: First is Star Wars novelist and comic book scripter John Jackson Miller. We also have James R Tuck, urban fantasy novelist, joining us. Both of these gentlemen will be making their first TimeGate appearances. Go to the Guests page for more info!

10-28-11: As you can see on the banner at the top of the page, we've added a new guest to our roster for 2012: David Nykl, who played Dr. Radek Zelenka for five seasons on Stargate Atlantis. We're very thrilled to have Mr. Nykl with us next year.

9-7-11: We had a great weekend at Dragon*Con this year! It was fun getting to see so many of our regulars again as well as making many new friends. You still have a few more days at which you can purchase your membership for TG 2012 for only $25! Go to the Membership page to buy yours!

7-21-11: You can now book your hotel room online! Go to the Hotel page to reserve your room for TimeGate 2012!

7-6-11: Here's the TimeGate contingent at the preview screening of Torchwood: Miracle Day that STARZ hosted at the Landmark Theatre here in Atlanta. Was a really good turnout, and the STARZ folks said that a lot of people had to be turned away, which is sad. But the episode was terrific and it seems we're in for a fantastic season!

5-30-11: Our site has gone through its annual regeneration to reflect a new year. New guests, new programming ... "Change, my dear. And not a moment too soon!" The site will be fleshed out as details about our 2012 convention are determined. Until then, if you'd like to browse the 2011 site to get a sense of what our convention is about, please click here.
