Stemming from the success of  TwiCon, Summit Entertainment has announced a series of Twilight Fan Conventions to be held in cities across North America, reports MTV.com.

According to the report, for the next three years Summit and Creation Entertainment will host appearances by “Twilight” cast members, exclusive screenings, panel discussions, parties, auctions and musical performances in 20 different cities.

TwilightLexicon.com already named these cities as future convention locations:  New Jersey, Chicago, Miami, Seattle, Nashville, San Francisco, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Arlington, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Boston, Toronto, and Portland.  More information can be found here.
