The 2007 Nebula Awards Weekend will be held Friday, May 11th through Sunday, May 13th at the Marriott in the Financial Center, New York City, 85 West Street, New York, NY 10006. The awards will be presented at a gala banquet on Saturday, May 12th. Other activities will include a group autograph session, SFWA semi-annual business meeting, and programing related to the writing profession. Attendance is not limited SFWA members, but registration is necessary for most activities.

The Nebula Awards are voted on, and presented by, active members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc. Founded as the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1965 by Damon Knight, the organization began with a charter membership of 78 writers; it now has 1,500 members, among them most of the leading writers of science fiction and fantasy.

Room rates are set at $219.00 a night (single through quad), not including taxes. This is less expensive than the last New York Nebula Awards Weekend, which was held in 2000. Reservations are not being taken at this time, but the room rate will be available for Thursday through Monday.

Less expensive alternative housing is being investigated by the Nebula Awards Weekend Committee.

Registration information will be available this fall.
