CoNZealand Programme Released
The CoNZealand programme is now available to view. There are 772 events scheduled. The opening and closing ceremonies, Hugo Awards, and the Masquerade will run at 11:00 a.m. NZST.
At this time, login to the virtual con is unavailable.
Once the login is available, you will be able to sign-in to the CoNZealand Grenadine site and start tailoring your own CoNZealand experience. You’ll be able to sign up for programme items, kaffeeklatsche and workshops, and create your own schedule to follow during CoNZealand. Note some of these may have limited numbers, so register early to avoid disappointment.
Because some workshops require advance preparation, carefully read the descriptions for for these specific workshops: “Action Scenes Without Black Belts”, “Worldbuilding – Writers Workshop (Late Night)”, “Geological Worldbuilding”, “Introduction to Computer Animation”, “Creating Compelling Characters in Fantastical Worlds”, “Using History to Build a World for Writing or Playing”.
Until the single log in system is operational, to be fair to all concerned, if you are interested in participating in the above-mentioned workshops, please email programme-workshops@
conzealand.nz to sign up.
Questions regarding the working programme can be directed to programme@conzealand.nz. For more information, including the full schedule, visit the CoNZealand partner website Grenadine.

While you are here, please take a moment to support Locus with a one-time or recurring donation. We rely on reader donations to keep the magazine and site going, and would like to keep the site paywall free, but WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT to continue quality coverage of the science fiction and fantasy field.
