All fans are welcome to attend any of the events on the day. Anyone is welcome to attend the AGM, however, in order to vote you must be a member of SFFANZ.
We will have a number of rooms where people can hang out and chat as well as our main discussion space.
The AGM information can all be found on the SFFANZ website www.sffanz.nz. There you’ll find the 2021 minutes and the 2022 AGM agenda.
The breakouts will be available during the AGM and other sessions for those people who just wish to mingle and chat. There will be an opportunity to stay on after the SJVs to allow attendees to chat with, and congratulate, our winners and finalists.
Let’s get this show back on the road.
We want to talk about the resources are available for convention runners. From advice to financial support and grants. And we’re interested to hear whether anyone is keen on running an event in 2023 or 2024. We know the last few years have been difficult for getting together, but we want to know if there’s an appetite for events in the next few years and how we might want them to look.

Join us in celebrating New Zealand’s science fiction and fantasy awards for 2022. Stay afterwards to congratulate the winners! We’ll get in touch with the finalists via separate email about details for the evening.
