[Sfts-students] August 2026 World Science Fiction Convention in Anaheim

[andré carrington]

Greetings, everyone,

The World Science Fiction Convention (WorldCon) is the longest-running
gathering for science fiction fans, authors, and artists. It's taken place
in many cities throughout the world. You'll see photos from many past
conventions in the Jay Kay Klein photographs and papers
<https://calisphere.org/collections/26943/>, and you can access many more
in the Eaton Collection. Members/attendees also vote to decide the Hugo
Awards <https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/hugo>.

I'm working on providing free or subsidized membership for UCR grad
students to attend WorldCon this August in Anaheim, CA. I've created a
Google form to register interest. If you'll be in California this August
and would like to attend, please complete this form. To maintain the
integrity of the process, please don't share it.
