JeddiCon’s Yasser Bahjatt at Worldcon 76

Posted on by

The bid committee to bring the Worldcon to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 2022 (JeddiCon) styles itself The Jeddi High Council.  The Master of The Order – bid chair — is Yasser Bahjatt. He’s been to Worldcons, and Olav Rokne forwarded several photos he took of Bahjatt on a panel at the San Jose Worldcon of 2018. (Thanks to Steven H Silver for the panelist identifications.)

This was the alternate history panel “If This, Then What?” The panelists in order from left to right: Kaja Foglio, Steven H Silver, Yasser Bahjatt, Kay Kenyon, Harry Turtledove. (Foglio only appears in the last picture.)

  2. I’d like to note that I first met Yasser at LoneStarCon 3 in San Antonio, Texas during the 2013 Worldcon. Following the panel in San Jose illustrated above, I had a very nice conversation with his wife, who was also attending Worldcon 76.
