Hello friends, If someone still doesn't know, during Lituanicon-2008 there was a Baltcon Business meeting where the St.Petersburg bid for 2009 was presented. By vote of the attending members Baltcon-2009 was granted to Interpresscon-2009 in St.Petersburg. The chair of Interpresscon/Baltcon-2009 granted duties to coordinate Russian and international parts of the convention to me. The convention will be held from April 30 to May 3, 2009. The venue will be announced later but provisionally it maybe the Dune Resort near St.Petersburg where last Interpresscons and this year FantOR convention used to be hosted. More information to follow after Eurocon-2008 in Moscow. Interpresscon-2008 will be run together with Eurocon-2008. The convention site is here: http://www.rusf.ru/interpresscon/ Now it contains info in Russian, but soon English pages will be established as well. Please spread the information within your fandoms (i.e. in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Norway, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Russia). It will be 20th Interpresscon and 15th Baltcon. The organizing committee is open for offers and contributions to international program. You can send any offers, questions, requests, etc. to me.
