The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association today announced the 2024 Nebula Conference will be held June 6-9 at the Westin in Pasadena, CA and online. Registration will soon begin at events.sfwa.org.

SFWA says the site was chosen “After an exhaustive, cross-country search that involved dozens of hotel proposals”, anticipating the pushback the announcement has already received from several writers who either hoped the site would move around to another part of the country, or feel Southern California sites are too expensive for them. The in-person component of last year’s hybrid event was held in Anaheim, CA, following three consecutive years of virtual Nebula Conferences (2020-2022).

The date chosen for the Nebula Conference also places it on the weekend following the Horror Writers Association’s StokerCon, another event being held in Southern California — in San Diego, from May 30-June 2.
