−	~~#redirect~~[[SiglerFest 2011]]	+	[[SiglerFest]] is the annual fan festival run and operated by [[Empty Set Entertainment]]. It is a celebration of all things Sigler, and serves as a rallying point for Junkies all over the world.
		+
		+	=History=
		+	SiglerFest was originally floated as an idea during discussions on the forums of the Scott Sigler Forums of how Junkies could throw a party in appreciation for Scott Sigler. As well-intentioned as the idea was, it was no more than an un-executable pipe dream. It took [[A Kovacs]]’ re-imagination of a fan festival hosted by Scott ''for'' the junkies (in what ended up being a much better-executed reversal of the original idea) to actually make the idea a viable option.
		+
		+	Because it was unknown how many attendees would actually be interested, the first SiglerFest piggybacked on the celebrations of ''Balticon 45'', a Science Fiction and Fantasy convention to which Scott had already committed. The turnout was better than anticipated, ensuring the continuation of SiglerFest the following year.
		+
		+	In order to make it easier for Junkies to travel to the event, the decision was made to host subsequent SiglerFests in Las Vegas, in order to leverage tourism-driven airline and resort casino deals. ''The Orleans Hotel and Casino'' was the site of SiglerFests 2012 through 2017. In 2018, the venue was changed to ''South Point Hotel Casino''.
		+
		+	=Programming Content=
		+	Although the programming of each individual SiglerFest is unique, there are some aspects that have consistently been part of the experience. For more information about specific historical content, see the indvidual SiglerFest pages.
