Visions (convention)
Visions was an annual science fiction convention held from 1990 to 1998 in Rosemont, Illinois on Thanksgiving weekend. The convention was held at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare except for the 1992 event which was held at the Ramada O'Hare.〔Ramada Plaza Hotel O'Hare, 6600 N. Mannheim Rd., Rosemont, IL. In 2006 the building was sold to Holiday Inn and partially demolished.〕 The convention was originally called Visions but was renamed HME Visions in 1998.〔The 1998 program booklet billed the convention as ''Her Majesty's Entertainment Presents HME Visions '98, the Unconventional Television Convention.''〕 It was also known as "A British TV Celebration" before its first event.
The convention was founded by retired fireman, electrical contractor, and long-time Doctor Who fan Robert H. McLaughlin III of Hoffman Estates, Illinois. He organized the 1990 ''Doctor Who'' convention to raise money for Lambs Farm.〔 The convention was run by McLaughlin with a committee of about twenty plus fan volunteers (''gophers'') recruited at each event.〔Various program booklets.〕
Over time the convention expanded from a ''Doctor Who'' convention into a celebration of British TV shows.〔 While the main focus of each convention was ''Doctor Who'', ''Visions'' often invited actors from ''Blake's 7'', ''Red Dwarf'' and ''Robin of Sherwood''. ''Visions '93'' celebrated the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who and the 15th anniversary of ''Blake's 7''.〔''Visions '93'' program booklet.〕
