The annual conference of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), at which the Nebula Awards are presented.
History[edit]
New Orleans[edit]
Starting in 1966, the Nebula Awards Banquet is where the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America give out their Nebula and other awards.
In the early years, it was held on the same night in New York, California, and a central location to make it attendable to most of its membership. During the years 1969, 1970, and 1971, that central location was New Orleans. Don Walsh (host), the New Orleans Science Fiction Association, Jan Samuels and the Tulane University fan group, and many of the Shadows of New Orleans Fandom took pride in guiding visiting authors and their families around the city, digging up old friends from the NOSFS days and party heartying. The Tulane University fan group hosted an after banquet party in 1969.
In 1970, Wyane LeBaud and Dean Sweatman (the salt & pepper team of New Orleans fandom at that time) had the honor of guiding Jodie and Andy Offutt down Bourbon Street and ending up at The Morning Call for coffee and beignets. Saturday Dean drove Joe Green and family out to visit with Harry B. Moore for a [[fan
