The Nebula Awards Conference is an annual highlight in the science fiction and fantasy writing community, and it couldn’t happen without help from our generous sponsors. Our 60th year is a hybrid event, featuring over three days of educational, professional, and social events that we can’t wait to get you involved in: in person, online, and through donations. To celebrate your involvement, we’re offering sponsorship at varying levels.
Conference attendees exist at the heart of our science fiction, fantasy, and horror communities, and they shape a great deal of the genre in the years ahead. These are spaces where editors, agents, writers, and other SFF professionals and fans get to connect and dream up work to come.
We anticipate 250 participants attending in person this year, and approximately 300 streaming online, with an estimated 3,000 watching the Nebula Awards Ceremony live. SFWA has over 2,500 members in the United States, Canada, and around the globe. Your gift of support for this annual celebration and collaboration space allows us to cultivate more opportunities to “talk shop” that will build the future of speculative fiction.
There are limited sponsorship slots available. All opportunities are first-come, first-served and subject to SFWA approval. If you’re interested in sponsoring, you can fill out this form or email sponsors@sfwa.org for details and reservations.
