Dublin 2019 programming will feature an exciting and varied array of sessions that explore the depth and breadth of a world class science fiction convention, delving into speculative fiction, art, comics, music, and gaming with a special focus on Irish themes. From the fantastic to the scientific, our daily schedule will consist of fun and engaging topics that dig into the past, propelling us into countless futures. Our participants will be smart and articulate and our programme will celebrate the best of what Worldcon has to offer.
