What is Worldcon?
Worldcon is the world’s leading celebration of science fiction creativity, community and culture.
It’s also the home of the annual Hugo Awards ceremony – the most prestigious prize in SF – recognising the year’s most outstanding achievements in science fiction and fantasy.
Above all, Worldcon aims to be a fun, fascinating and inclusive event where fans from all countries, backgrounds and walks of life can come together as a community.
We want to bring Worldcon to Dublin from 2 to 6 August, 2029.

Why Dublin?
Dublin hosted the 77th World Science Fiction Convention in 2019, welcoming exciting SFF authors, artists and creators to the city for five unforgettable days in the company of thousands of attendees. It was so good, we want to do it all over again, with more guests, more fans and more fun!
Dublin is a vibrant European capital city full of history and culture, visited by millions of tourists yet still widely known for its hospitality. You can get here easily from anywhere in the world; Dublin airport itself is very well linked with other world airports and we are a short hop from the global hubs of London, Paris and Amsterdam.
Our convention organisers are well connected to fandom here in Ireland, our European neighbours and beyond, so while we hope you will have a genuinely Dublin experience when you come here, it will also be global, as befits the World Science Fiction Convention.
