Des Moines Science Fiction & Fantasy Society

The Des Moines Science Fiction & Fantasy Society, INC (DMSFFS) is a non-profit charity 501(c)(3) organization located in Des Moines, Iowa. It is entirely volunteer run.

DMSFFS generally meets at the Valley Junction Activity Center at 217 5th Street in West Des Moines. It is two doors north of the Tavern Restaurant in the Valley Junction district. There is a parking lot off the 4th Street side of the building. Be sure to check the calendar for more information or any changes.

In addition to the regular monthly meetings, we host DemiCon, Summer and Winter SACC, DemiCon Lites (our monthly educational program), and more.

Our big event is DemiCon, Des Moines' longest-running annual science fiction, fantasy, and gaming convention.

For many years the organization was known at the Des Moines Science Fiction Society, LTD, a fraternal non-profit. It was re-imagined in 2018 and reformed as a charity non-profit to focus more on education and the love of reading through literacy, science and the arts.
