The bid committee’s goal is to hold the Worldcon from Thursday, August 24 to Monday, August 28, 2028. The venue would be the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre in South Brisbane, with the primary convention hotel being the Rydges South Bank, Brisbane.
The committee, as of this moment, is:
- Random Jones (Chair)
