Welcome to the New SFWA Events!

For years, SFWA staged out events on events.sfwa.org, but we’re bringing our events “home” to SFWA.org for an important reason: better integration.

Instead of two separate login systems, we have one – with seamless event-access integration for all future ticket purchases from store.sfwa.org.

And instead of events “stuck” on just one page, we have an interface that allows us to promote events and their presenters in multiple ways across the website. This means committee and project teams will have upcoming events front and center on their home pages, right next to exciting information from our volunteers.

Best of all? You can now add events to your personal User Profile. If you’re logged in, jclick on an event in our calendar to have it pop up for review, or use the dashboard below the calendar for more targeted searches. If “ADD TO MISSION LOG” isn’t visible, click on the title to see the event card’s full view. Check that box, and the event will show up on your dashboard feed below, and under “Mission Log” on your profile page. Once an event has concluded, it will stay in an archive section for later review.

You will also note that SFWA now finally shows local time for events on most displays. If you have a VPN turned on, your experience might vary! But we hope this improves your Nebula-going experience, and all other special events at SFWA.

Thank you for growing with us! And check back soon for news about a proper Open House to provide more insight into this and other recent changes to SFWA.org.
