The World Science Fiction Society (WSFS) is the organization that licenses Worldcon. WSFS requires that every Worldcon perform the following functions:
- Administer the Hugo Awards
- Select the site for a future Worldcon (two years hence)
- Hold a WSFS Business Meeting
- Present regular financial reports
Follow the links to the individual pages for more information on each of these topics. We have also provided a separate page with answers to some Frequently Asked Questions about WSFS.
SITE SELECTION
The process to select the host sites for the 2015 Worldcon and the 2014 North American Science Fiction Convention ("NASFiC") is now under way. Three bidders have filed for the Worldcon election and two for the NASFiC election.
