2021 Worldcon Changes Dates to December 15-19

Three Groups File to Host 2023 Worldcon
Three bids (Chengdu, China; Memphis, Tennessee, USA, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) have filed the necessary papers to appear on the ballot for the selection of the site of the 2023 Worldcon. See our News page for more details.
Worldcons sell “memberships,” not “tickets.” To attend a Worldcon, you must purchase an attending membership from that Worldcon. Memberships are not available from the Worldcon web site, because each Worldcon is an independent organization, so you must contact the individual Worldcon directly.
Upcoming Worldcon Bids
The sites of future Worldcons are selected by a vote of the members of the Worldcon two years in advance. There is no Board of Directors or Central Committee of WSFS that selects Worldcon sites. Any bid that meets a small number of technical requirements may bid for the right to host Worldcon. The members of the Worldcon make the decision on where future Worldcons will be held. A full list of future Worldcon bids can be found here.
