About First Contact
Shaping the future of Montana through Sci-Fi
Our 40-year Mission
To help humanity reach maturity by harnessing the power of imagination and hope, so we can shape the future as we know it
When we envision First Contact with alien life forms, we imagine a shared future where our actions today have shaped a golden age of interspace relations.
Until then, we embolden humanity to be good and do good, to continue to leave our world better than we found it, and to take a special delight in our differences.
To that end, we create events that allow people to share in the complexity of the human spirit, and to celebrate a universe of our making.
