Site selection for the 1942 Worldcon was conducted at Denvention in 1941. This was before there were formal bid committees, so it is unlikely that the bids were organized much before the vote.
Four bids were presented at the business meeting:
- San Francisco in 1942 by Joe Fortier
- Washington, DC in 1942 by Milton Rothman
- Philadelphia in 1942 by Bob Madle
- Los Angeles in 1942 by Walter Daugherty
Los Angeles won but due to WWII, the con, Pacificon, was not held until 1946.
