What is a speculative fiction convention?
An SF convention is an event that brings together SF creators and fans and often features a program of sessions that range from panel discussions and readings to Guest of Honour talks, workshops, games and special events.

What is NatCon?
NatCon is the name for the Australian national SF convention. Every year a different city is chosen to host the NatCon.

What is membership?
Membership is a way to support the event. Attending membership includes access to all three days of the convention, and includes Ditmar (award) voting rights, publications and entry to Ditmar Awards Ceremony.

Full adult membership is $170 and can be purchased through continuum.org.au

All travel costs, meals and accommodation are separate and covered by each individual.

Please note a 'yes' RSVP does not confirm your place at the event. You must book and pay through Continuum.

Program to be announced

There will be a small Sydney contingent attending this year. Please let us know if you'll be there and I will confirm dates, times and places so we can meet up during the convention. Check the comments for updates.
