World Science Fiction Convention

The World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) is an annual gathering of science fiction fans, authors, and industry professionals from around the globe. It celebrates the genre through panels, discussions, author signings, and awards like the Hugo Awards. Participants attend to share ideas, explore new stories, and connect with others who share their passion for science fiction and fantasy. Founded in 1939, it serves as a cultural hub for the community, fostering creativity, recognition, and collaboration within the genre. Each year’s convention is hosted in a different city, blending entertainment, networking, and celebration of speculative fiction.
