Åcon is a small annual SF convention held in May or June every year in Finland. It takes place on a finnish island – Mariehamn, Åland] where a Swedish minority lives but the programming in neither in Sweding nor in Finnish, it is entirely in English.
The con was founded in 2007 and its aim is to bring Swedish and Finnish science fiction fandoms together. I also read somewhere that some die-hard fans thougth the very awesome Finncon, attended by 4000 people every year, had grown to big so they decided to organize a con on an island that was diffcult to get to thus discouragin everyone who is not a diehard fan.
I heard about the con from Cheryl Morgan and have been dying to go. Maybe next year. Here’s how it went this year.
