The 61st Nebula Awards Conference
Thank you to everyone who made our 60th Anniversary Nebula Awards Conference so special this June 5-8 in Kansas City.
We loved our time together so much we thought, why not get a start on next year, too?
That’s why the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) is excited to announce that the 61st Annual Nebula Awards Conference will be held in Chicago, IL from June 2-7—and we’re inviting you along for the ride today!
On January 1, 2026, our pricing goes up again, but for $250 USD today, you can secure your place with us for all our regular programming, which will be hosted at the tremendously accessible Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare Hotel & Conference Center, just two miles from O’Hare International Airport. Closer to the date, we’ll circle back to see if you’d like to join us at a small top-up cost for our Nebula Banquet, too.
Sometimes called “the jewel of the Midwest,” and bordered by scenic Lake Michigan, Chicago is famous for its bustling music and comedy scenes, its diverse neighborhoods and restaurants, and its exciting historical and cultural attractions. It’s also home to many writers, and it’s especially notable as a home of comics art and slam poetry.
Register now for this discount! Price increases are scheduled for January 1 2026 and May 1 2026! More information on the Banquet add-on, as well as hotel block pricing, will be released soon.
Online tickets for 2026 are now available! The ticket for online attendance is now available, and will increase in price on January 1 2026! This ticket is only for the 2026 Conference!
And thank you again for making this year’s Nebula event so wonderful. We look forward to celebrating new directions at SFWA with you all this next year, too—so let’s give ourselves something to talk about next June in Chicago, shall we?
Miss you already! Hope to see you again soon!
