82nd World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) returns to Glasgow in 2024 ( @Glasgowin2024 )

Thu, 8 Aug 2024 – Mon, 12 Aug 2024

Get ready for Worldcon (World Science Fiction Convention) which is returning to Glasgow’s SEC from August 8-12, 2024.  So what is Worldcon? Well its title is pretty self answering ( World Science Fiction Convention) but to go into a little more detail Worldcon is a yearly gathering of scifi/fantasy fans, authors, artists, musicians, and much more. Each year Worldcon makes its home in a new city around the planet having first started in 1939 in New York. This year its making  a return visit to Glasgow where it has been previously in 1995, and 2005. So it will be great to have Worldcon back in Glasgow. 

With still many months out from the events opening day. There is still a lot yet to be announced but the team over at the official website are busy keeping us up to date with who will be in attendance. You can keep up to date here https://glasgow2024.org/whos-coming/guests-of-honour/

and also here https://glasgow2024.org/whos-coming/special-guests/

I know many of you may not find it easy to get to Glasgow ( I myself am a few hours south of Glasgow) but some people are even further away. Don’t despair!  The team organising Worldcon have taken that into account and do have an online option which you can learn about here https://glasgow2024.org/whats-on/online-convention/

Ticket information is available here https://glasgow2024.org/get-involved/memberships-and-tickets/ and if you need any information about the venue or accommodation for the event, they have you covered here https://glasgow2024.org/location/ 

So if you fancy taking a trip later this year to hear some great talks, meet some talented people, and have a great time. Take yourself to Worldcon in Glasgow! 8th Aug 2024 – 12th Aug 2024
