We have noticed a very worrying trend among science fiction and fantasy fans.
It seems that even more and more people are reproducing by very non-sciencefictioal and non-magical means.

Where has good old cloning gone to? How about replicants? Or magical doppelgängers?

Nonetheless we have taken into account the needs of new fandom members and therefore this year’s Finncon has a family room (Luentosali A06). There families can have a short break and there’s something to do for the young congoers.

Information about the space and program suitable for children can be found here: http://2016.finncon.org/en/program/for-families/

We know that in addition to seeing program and people visiting the various vendor tables is essential.

So have now added a list to the website of the various vendors, art corner participants and other exhibitors like SF societies. We have also provided links to most of the sites for the various exhibitors.

With these it should be even easier (or way harder) to plan ahead with your purchases!

You can find the list here: http://2016.finncon.org/en/about/exhibitors/
