Can you believe that it has been a year since Glasgow 2024! This month also marks 20 years since Interaction (4–8 Aug 2005) and 30 years since Intersection (24–28 Aug 1995). Whether you joined us last year, twenty or thirty years ago - or at all three - we’d love to hear your stories and memories!

There have been some amazing things created for Glasgow 2024 using yarn, tartan, fabrics, the con logo and its elements, and many others. So many so that another Art and Artistry book will be published after the con!

Our thoughts are with our Guest of Honour Ken MacLeod, and his family, on the passing of his wonderful wife Carol. We had the great joy of having Carol as part of our Worldcon and fandom community and she will be deeply missed.
