conrunner (plural conrunners)

- 1991 October 8, Bridget Wilkinson, “Barcon”, in Fans Across the World‎, number 8:
  The convention organisation itself creaked a little (though since this report came from the USSR's greatest conrunner this may be a little like asking Ben Yallow for his opinion of a Unicon), but a good time was had by all.
