ABOUT WORLDCON
The World Science Fiction Convention -- or Worldcon -- began in 1939 in New York as a gathering of a few dozen “scientifiction” enthusiasts. Unlike various Comic Cons, Worldcon focuses more on literature, is run entirely by volunteers and on a non-profit basis. It doesn’t sell tickets but instead offers “memberships.” Additionally, Worldcon is nomadic, and every year it is organized by a different group in a different city. There is no central organization.
This year’s Czech presence includes:
--Daily events on Czech speculative fiction and fandom
--A booth hosted by the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in Los Angeles
Want to attend Worldcon?
--One-day memberships: $50–$70
