Most conventions have ''Guest(s) of Honor (GoH)''.  These guests are to some extent the headliners of the convention.  A convention may have as many Guests of Honor as the convention committee wishes. Along with Author and perhaps Fan Guests of Honor (fans who are not necessarily celebrities but have made a significant contribution to the fan community), a convention may have an Artist GoH, Editor GoH, [[Filk]] or Music GoH, a Toastmaster, and Special Guests. A Memorial Guest of Honor (as at [[Readercon]]) or Ghost of Honor (as at [[66th World Science Fiction Convention|Worldcon 2008/Denvention 3]]) is a deceased individual who is selected as a focal point of the festivities. [[Potlatch (convention)|Potlatch]], however, has an annual ''Book of Honor'' instead.
