Benecia I was held July 5–7 1974 in the ballroom of Stoufer's Inn, Atlanta, GA (Marietta was the contact address where the teenaged organizer Steve Reed lived). It was planned as a big Star Trek event (the name comes from a planet in the series finale) but almost cancelled due to lack of interest and resurrected at the last minute by the guest/lecturer Robert H. Gibbons as a "minicon" for a few dozen locals.
