Parties

Parties are one of the events many people look forward to at Worldcon.

Bid Parties are hosted by groups that would like to host a future Worldcon. These parties are a great way to learn about bids that are currently being voted on through site selection or will be coming to a vote in the near future. At any given moment, there are several potential Worldcons bidding.

Local and Regional Conventions also host parties. They wish to promote their conventions and attract new attendees or just stay in touch with their regulars. These parties are a great way to find out more about the annual conventions that you might be interested in attending and a way to meet other fans in a smaller setting.

And of course, there are those parties that are hosted by people or groups who just want to have a bit of fun.

Hosting a Party

We welcome small and large parties, so don’t be shy. Our Party Hosting page has information on:

• how to book a room or suite for your party
• our corkage waiver
• how to order and purchase ice for your party from the Hyatt.
