Program Schedule Published
Why are nearly all books nowadays just so and so? Or aren’t they? And William Shatner karaoke! Marvel’s female superheroes! Naomi Mitchison’s Travel Light! Romance and fantasy with Zen Cho! History and writing, beer and philosophy!
In other words: We have a program.

The Saturday programme begins with an excursion to Stallhagen Microbrewery. The bus leaves Adlon at 10:00 AM and returns again at 13:00.
The excursion consists of a guided tour of the brewery, and a tasting of the brewery’s flagship beers together with a platter of local delicacies. To sign up, read more on the excursion page.

Remember to book your hotel room
Our offer for cheaper hotel rooms expires on April 5. After that day, our reserved block of rooms will also be released to the public, for anyone to book. In other words, if you haven’t already done so, follow the instructions on the Hotel information page and reserve your room now!
Membership transfers
The Membership page has been updated with information about membership transfers; what to do if you want to transfer your membership to someone if you cannot attend the convention, and what to do if you would like to buy a membership from someone who wants to sell theirs.
Sold out
After a record-breaking day — we started out with twenty-eight memberships still for sale — we have now sold all the one-hundred available memberships. For those of you who see this notice too late, don’t despair quite yet — we shall try to set up some sort of system eventually where you can queue up to buy any memberships that current members who discover they cannot attend might want to sell.
7 memberships left
As you know, the convention venue is very limited in size so Åcon has always had a membership cap of 100 members. Currently we only have 7 memberships left to sell. We have sold 21 memberships today and expect to sell the remaining very soon, perhaps today already. The demand for memberships has been much higher than in previous years, for a number of reasons.
