Thank you for your interest in being part of the LAcon V Program!
The Program division is committed to creating an interesting, educational, and inclusive program. We are excited about featuring Los Angeles and Southern Californian participants, the tapestry of communities that overlap with and are adjacent to Worldcon, and recent and current Hugo finalists and winners.
We will prioritize the participation of underrepresented voices from within the wider speculative fiction community, including participants who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, LGBTQIA+, and participants with disabilities.
We are hoping to have several panels in Spanish, presuming that there is enough interest shown. We are also very interested in having teen and young adult program participants.
By completing the Program Participant Initial Interest Survey, you are informing us of your interest, and we will inform you via email when the next steps are ready for you to complete later in 2025.
Clicking here will take you to Planorama, which is the software that the Program Division will be using. You will need to create an account to complete the survey, and this will be the account you use going forward. (Note that even if you created an account in the past, you will need a new one – every instance of Planorama is convention specific.)
Submitting this form does not guarantee that you will become a program participant, though we are delighted that you would like to be.
If there are any problems, please contact program@lacon.org for assistance.
