It’s Live! cHECK OUT OUR QUASAR PROGRAM
This November, it is our honor and privilege to extend the Nebula year with another weekend dedicated to professional development at SFWA. Check out our preliminary program today, and join us at Quasar: SFWA’s Fall Online Nebula Event!
From November 15 to 16, Nebula attendees from June are already guaranteed access to a whole new host of panels, workshops, seminars, office hours, and special presentations. Include the promo code “2025Nebulas” when you register, and once we’ve cross-checked your name with our Nebula list, you’re in! Welcome back!
For newcomers, we are delighted to offer you access to Quasar, along with the whole 60th Nebula online catalog, plus writing dates at events.sfwa.org, for the rest of the Nebula year (until June 2, 2026) for only $75. And if only Quasar strikes your fancy? We’d be thrilled to have you along for the ride at $50 for this weekend in November.
Our Toastmaster and Grand Master Speeches
To keep the joy of our diamond-year at SFWA going, we were thrilled to announce early-bird pricing for next year’s Nebula Conference at this year’s Nebula Awards Ceremony.
From now until December 31, general registration to our 61st Nebula Awards Conference in Chicago, June 2-7, is only $250 USD.
We’ll touch base later about Nebula Banquet pricing, but for now: Spread the word about this limited-time discount to all our regular conference programming, and keep the magic of the Nebs alive! We hope to see you again soon!
