Tomorrow Elephant

I have neglected to mention that I’m the UK agent for Åcon — so anybody from the UK interested in going there should get in touch!

Come with us to Åcon, the first Finnish hotel con!

The first Finnish hotel con (in English!) and at the same time the first ever con to be held in Åland will take place 17-20 May 2007 in Mariehamn, at Hotel Adlon.

Almost all of the hotel’s 54 rooms are booked for con participants, so our membership goal is around 100 attending members.

The guest of honour of Åcon will be the Scottish author Hal Duncan. Since our members aren’t only from Finland, the whole of the Åcon programming will be in English.

The Åcon membership fee is 20 EUR. Accommodation in the hotel in double rooms costs 150EUR per person (17-20 May; three nights inc. breakfast). With an extra bed in a room, the cost is 120 EUR per person.

The easiest way to get to Mariehamn from Finland or Sweden is with our specially negotiated cruiseferry prices: 10 EUR return from Stockholm or Turku, or 20 EUR Turku-Mariehamn-Helsinki.
