Welcome to LAcon V: The 84th World Science Fiction Convention!
We are thrilled to bring Worldcon back in the Los Angeles area for the first time in 20 years. Our committee has been hard at work for the last two years putting together what we hope will be a five-day extravaganza dedicated to the love of the speculative fiction genre.
And that all starts with Opening Ceremonies. Join us for the official Opening Ceremonies of the convention. Hosted by our Toastmaster, Ursula Vernon (aka T. Kingfisher), the Ceremonies will introduce you to our Guests of Honor and Special Guests, entertain you, and celebrate the start of the convention.
The LAcon V Opening Ceremonies will be held on Thursday, August 27, 2026 at 7:30pm Pacific on the stage at the Anaheim Convention Center Arena.
