Fantastika 2024 is an SF convention that will take place in Dieselverkstaden in Sickla near the center of Stockholm on November 1-3, 2024. The venue has been used for SF conventions in 2013, 2016, 2018, and 2021, and our goal is about the same type of convention. There will be programme on Friday 17.00 – 22.00, on Saturday 10.00 – 22.00, and on Sunday 10.00 – 17.00. After Closing on Sunday there will be a Dead Dog Party. We intend to have at least one English programme at all times.
Guests of Honour are Juliet E. McKenna, T. L. (Tendai) Hushu, Lena Karlin and Åsa Schwarz.
At Swecon 2023 (Konflikt), that was also Eurocon 2023, it was decided that Fantastika 2024 will be Swecon 2024.
The committee can be contacted at info@fantastika2024.com.
