2030 Edmonton Worldcon Bid

Edmonton (AKA ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ / Amiskwacîwâskahikan), Canada has announced a bid to host the 88th World Science Fiction Convention in 2030.

Northern Alberta Science Fiction Society
chair Mike Johnson said, “Edmonton is one of Canada’s youngest and fastest-growing cities. It’s bubbling with ideas, creativity, diversity, and a can-do attitude. It has an energy that I think science fiction fans from
around the globe will find themselves aligned with.”

The committee “has been working with local partners including Explore Edmonton and Alberta Counsel. If Edmonton (ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ) is selected to host Worldcon 2030, the festivities will occur at the Edmonton Convention Centre from August 8-13 or August 15-20.”
