We’d like to thank Nuremberg in 2028 for running alongside us in the race to win the 2028 Worldcon. And while they’ve now stepped away from the race, we’re a better bid for having had the competition.

We’d like to take this moment to advocate for those who aren’t able to go in person to LAcon V to support this year’s Worldcon by signing up for Virtual Memberships and participating remotely, and for all LAcon V members to vote in Site Selection.

Site Selection funds not only provide the voters with WSFS memberships to the 2028 Worldcon, they will provide us with funding up front to make the best possible convention for all of you two years from now.

We look forward to supporting a German Worldcon bid in the future.
