Nope. Amber-related cons tend to be much smaller
than "regular" sci-fi cons, on average.
There's a central web page for all of the Amber cons:
"http://www.ambercons.com/"
Since the Amber Diceless RPG was playtested up in Detroit
for so many years, that's where you'll find the single largest
group of Amber fans. This con in Raleigh was started
by three locals pimarily because there *wasn't* anyone else
hosting anything nearby! (One of my friends here in Atlanta
ran an Amber-related con this year and the previous one,
but won't anymore because he lost a fair bit of money on it.
It seems that the SouthEast is a "desert" for sci-fi cons
in general, compared to the rest of the US.)
Thanks,
Franklin
