A carpetbagger bid to host the 81st Worldcon in 2023 in Memphis, TN, in late August. The bid, chaired by Cliff Dunn and Kate Secor, was announced at Dublin 2019. The bid filing says Secor will be con chair. The other announced bidcom members are Mike Willmoth and Jo Van Ekeren.

The bid has said that it will not run the 1948 Retro Hugos should it win: “While we understand that some family members very much appreciate getting Hugos for the work their parents (or grandparents) did, the reaction to the Retros has been increasingly mixed. On balance, we therefore believe it is time to move on from these, at least for the time being.”

Their competition is Chengdu 2023.
