Pebble thats Stubby Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Quote We are happy to announce that Archipelacon 2 will be organised on June 26-29, 2025! The venue will be the same as for the first Archipelacon, Alandica. Details about memberships, hotels and other practical things will be announced at a later date. For those who have volunteered for the concom: We are going to start going through the applications soon, and will contact every one of you before the end of the year. Archipelacon I was the best con I've ever been too. I can't tell you how excited I am for a repeat. also 2025 has a good chance of global travel being ok again. Provided I'm still alive (and given this year that's not guaranteed) I will be there even if I have to swim. If I'm already dead I'll be haunting the place if possible. Ok so I know its too early to make firm commitments but I'll start a couple of lists Interested in going Pebble Wolfgang Ran and Linda DaveAx (maybe) Williamjm Werthead Nyless33 Toft Lil Red Head +1 (maybe) Interested in being part of any Cabin / Campsite group (just like last time) Pebble Wolfgang Toft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luzifer's right hand Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm interested in both obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady narcissa Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hi Pebble, It would be super helpful for those of us unfamiliar to know what country this is in and if there is a website for the convention? 2025 seems so far away! But hopefully the virus long over by that point and borders open again and people able to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a ferry from either. It also has a small airport. The website at the moment is still showing the 2015 con, but it is all being held the same place http://www.archipelacon.org/ Yes 2025 is a long way in the future, hell I'll be retired by then lol. But I'm serriously excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a thread about the first Archipelacon in 2015 here: I think most of us mainly went to the first one because GRRM was going to be there, but it was a lot of fun and it's a nice location. I'm definitely keen on going to the second one even without knowing who the guests are going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAx Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 This sounds quite lovely. If my budget survives a Glasgow Worldcon the previous year, I would definitely consider attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'll be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyles33 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I'm interested in going again. Ferry can also be taken from Turku, which is a half hour plane ride, or 2 hour coach ride, from Helsinki. It makes the ferry ride a lot shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toft Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hello, everyone! What a lovely year it has been! ;-) But this is absolutely amazing news. Please consider me interested in both, if the world still exists in 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Head Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Sweetie and I are a tentative maybe. I have to say I've been enjoying not going places over the last year and having an empty calendar was a joy. But of course we are creatures of habit and the calendar is filling in again. With the high praise from Pebble and our goals of seeing more of Europe, it's definitely something I could see us doing. So put us in the "Ooo, that sounds interesting and we'll look forward to hearing more" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
