Hooray, I’m there! Australia has been named to host the world’s biggest and longest running Sci-Fi convention in 2010. The event called Aussiecon 4 will be held in Melbourne, Australia in 2010. There is even a new convention centre being built in Melbourne and it should be finished in time for this super event.
I will absolutely go and if any of the organisers are reading this, I’d love to netcast from the event. Contact me and let’s do lunch!
Industry Minister Theo Theophanous had this to say, “This one is a real beauty. This is big-ship enterprise that has landed one of the biggest conferences in the world.” Spoken like a real geek :-)
He also said, “This science fiction event, Aussiecon 4, has universal appeal and we’re expecting more than 3000 fans to converge on our fantastic new convention centre.” This is sounding very cool indeed.
More details (like bookings etc.) as they come to hand.
