Looking for something a little different this Easter long weekend? Maybe even something a little out of this world? Get on board as SwanCon launches this Thursday, April 13 for five action-packed days and sleepless nights at the Metro Hotel in South Perth.
SwanCon is Australia’s longest running Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Speculative Fiction Convention and is the flagship event in Perth for fans of all forms of media. This year heralds the 42nd SwanCon, and thus we are challenged by the second greatest computer ever, Deep Thought, to ponder the Ultimate Question. That of Life, the Universe and Everything!
Join the panels and discussions about books, films, TV shows, games, graphic novels, comics and much more. Go and stargaze the Guests of Honour and get into deep discussions with our community members about their experiences and passions.
You’ll be over the moon with two dedicated Gaming Rooms, both tabletop and console, which are active through the full expanse of SwanCon. There is truly something for all life-forms, with a Family Room for the kids, an Art Show, Traders Hall, Cosplay Masquerade Ball and special Awards Ceremonies. Immerse yourself in highlights such as the Pokemon Tournament, Mario Party, Geek-Singalong, Laughter Yoga and more!
It’s a great way to meet people who share your interesting or unique view of the cosmos, make new friends or catch up with old ones. If you’ve never been before and maybe just want to check it out new arrivals get an amazing option to pay just 2 dollars for their first day!
SwanCon runs from April 13-17. For more information, program guide and tickets go to 2017.swancon.com.au.
