Beyond Programme

Beyond Programme

Glasgow 2024 does not stop at the door to the SEC! Beyond Programme connects the convention and its membership to the wider surroundings of Glasgow. It’s all too easy to come to Worldcon and be so busy that you don’t get to fully appreciate the city that is hosting the event; we don’t want this to be one of those years!
