We all know the earlier you get your Worldcon membership, the better it is for both the convention and your wallet. So we’re offering a free attending membership to all members of the last German Worldcon: Heicon 1970.
Which raises a question:
Did Paul and 1/2r really plan this 58 years in advance?
We can't wait to find out who the finalists are! And if you're a member of @laworldcon.bsky.social you'll not only get to vote on the Hugo Awards, you'll also get to vote in site selection for Nuremberg 2028!
A white man with a salt and pepper hair, beard and mustache hills an action figure in a bubble package. It says Tracht Man and the figure inside is wearing traditional Bavarian clothes and has a large beer mug as an accessory.
The Tracht Man comics spread out on a table. The one on top shows Tracht Man fighting a giant gingerbread man.
Our bid chair, Florian, showing off the Tracht Man comics and action figure the Nuremberg in 2028 bid has donated for the grand prize of the Fan Funds Game Show. Tracht Man is Bavaria's only superhero!
A fan table covered with information about several Worldcon bids, including Nuremberg 2028, Brisbane 2028, Edmonton 2030, and others.
We're at Minicon this weekend! Stop by and visit the table for Worldcon bids, including Nuremberg 2028!
The last time Worldcon was in Germany was 1970. So far 3 of the 620 members of that convention have stopped by our fan table at Eastercon to say hi. We hope we'll be able to say hi to even more Heicon alums in 2028!
An information table at Eastercon covered with information and freebies relating to the 2028 Worldcon bid for Nuremberg, Germany. Signs are also visible for Brisbane, Australia's bid for 2028 and for Worldcon 2027 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Hello from Eastercon, one of three cons we're at this weekend. Come find us at our fan table here, or at Norwescon in Seattle or Minicon in Minneapolis!
Leipzig Book Fair main hall: Spacious and filled with book enthusiasts
A day at the fair comes to an end, as a warm sunset over a large pond welcomes the departing crowd.

We were at the Leipzig Book Fair!
Ruben has been spreading the word about Nuremberg 2028 Worldcon Bid in Leipzig and by chance even met Olaf Zocher from Metropolcon/Eurocon!

Michael Vogt, author of the "Der kleine Perry" SF comic series at Carlsen Verlag, is creating art for Nuremberg 2028!
In this hand-drawing you can see all the stages of drawing a comic before colouring: The first pencil sketch, then the pre-inking blue drawing, and finally the inking itself.
Think of the Book Fair as a bustling interstellar hub, where stories, and imaginations from every corner converge. Feel free to visit us!
Besuchen Sie uns auf der Leipziger Buchmesse!
Our Vice-Chair Ruben will be at the Leipzig Book Fair on Thursday to promote our bid!
The Leipzig Book Fair is one of the largest professional gatherings for writers and publishers in Europe.
This year it even includes Manga-Comic-Con!

Our purple-and-green bird mascot sitting with a jolly expression on their face. He looks a bit like a kakapo, if a kakapo were purple-and-green.
Wir laden Euch herzlich zu unserem Online-Meeting mit den Organisatoren des Nürnberg Worldcon Bids ein: Dienstag, 17. März, 20 Uhr.
Ein Worldcon in Deutschland, Q&A mit dem Team, Zoom link: zoom.us/meetings/986...
Hallo Welt!
Servus!
A cartoon version of the Nürnberg Coat of Arms with red-and-white diagonal strips on the right half and, instead of a black eagle on gold, a small purple bird with green eyelashes, feet and beak. This type of bird is known in nature as a Nürnbird.
Guten Morgen!
As part of our launch activities, we're having a contest. We have a magnificent Nürnbird as a mascot, but they need a name!
Give us your best suggestions - the winner will win a lifetime supply of Prestigeträchtig!
Hamnet had a really good score.
