I love my #ESOfam with my whole heart: at the moment specifically the 4 guildies I am sharing an apartment with for @archipelacon.org / #EuroCon2025 / #Archipelacon2 we have had a fantastic day doing a flashmob, seeing talks, eating Åland pancake and making communal dinner with wine 💜💜💜

A group of people participates in an on-stage performance, with colorful lighting and a large backdrop displaying an illustration of a pirate swan with the Åland flag, and images of the event’s guests. The scene captures a lively, interactive moment.
The cruise ship Alandica has officially been taken over by pirates and has been renamed the ESFS Archipelacon 2! The crew has taken some very peculiar hostages who will be forced to perform during the next few days.
(No Guests of Honour were harmed during the takeover)

Unfortunately, one of our Guests of Honour, Mats Strandberg, is not able to attend Archipelacon in person due to family reasons. We’re working on arranging for him to be able to participate remotely, and wish Mats and his family all the best!
