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 for all future ticket purchases from store.sfwa.org. And instead of having events “stuck” on just one page, we now have an interface that allows us to promote the work of our volunteers and their presenters all across the website. This means that committee and project teams will have upcoming events front and center on their main pages, right next to deep dives into relevant creative topics.

You will also note that SFWA now finally shows local time for events on most displays. (Hello, 21st Century!) If you have a VPN turned on, your experience may vary, but we hope this improves your Nebula conference this year, and all other events via SFWA.org.

Thank you for growing with us! It’s been a wild ride, and your support through these technical transformations has meant the world to our team. Check back soon for news about a proper Open House to provide more insight into this and other recent changes here on SFWA.org.

Generative AI, is everywhere. Authors are having to navigate a challenging new landscape, their works stolen without permission, seeing AI stuffed into every piece of software. How do we navigate this new reality? Panelists discuss Emerging Tech’s new resource library.

Science fiction is all about the science, right? Goodness, no. Plenty of SFF traditions involve a healthy dose of cultural mythology, spirituality, and plain-old fantastical mix-ins. Nebula Finalist Wole Talabi leads a discussion about how this richer tapestry of ideas shows up in modern SFF.
