Eurocon is the European science fiction annual convention which has been held in cities around the world since 1972. Organised by the European Science-Fiction Society (ESFS), the convention includes academic debates and studies of the genre. The organising committee of each Eurocon is chosen by a ballot of the delegates attending the event two years earlier. The voting procedure is coordinated by the ESFS. The event combines the European convention and the national convention of the organising country. This year’s convention is called BCon and will include Hispacon (the Spanish convention) and the CatCon (the Catalan convention).
