About the Nebulas
The Nebula Awards® are voted on, and presented by, active members of 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 over 1,500 members, among them many of the leading writers of science fiction and fantasy.
The Virtual Conference
Focusing on content relevant to professionals in the genre, attendees will be able to choose from career management, professional development, and expert knowledge panels and workshops. The Nebula Conference Online will include panels, solo presentations, conference mentorships, workshops, forums, chats, and virtual room parties (including a dance party hosted by John Scalzi). A portion of the proceeds the conference raises will go to assist SFWA members financially affected by COVID-19.
You do not need to be a member of SFWA to attend. We encourage anyone with a connection to the field to join us.
This conference is fully accessible and we will strive to make this event comfortable, safe, and engaging for all attendees.
And, of course, the awards ceremony will be streaming live at 5pm Pacific on May 30th.
Upcoming Conference Panels
All dates and times are in the America/Los Angeles (Pacific) time zone.
