Windycon 47 in 2021 will be held November 12-14, 2021 on-line and in person, after the 2020 version was cancelled due to the Covid-19 epidemic. Guests of Honor seem to have changed over the year preceding the convention will include author Ben Aaronovitch, Carlos Hernandez, artist Ray VanTilburg, science/maker Elizabeth Koprucki, music Seanan McGuire, agent John Berlyne,, gaming Ken Hite, and poetry C. S. E. Cooney. Ada Palmer will be Toastmaster, with Chair Evan Reeves.
The theme is "Urban Fantastic."
The rather clumsy name is the official one.
In 2020, three of the guests of honor, VanTilburg, Koprucki, and McGuire, were part of Breezycon, the online version of the Windycon that replaced the COVID-19-cancelled Windycon 47 in 2020. Early in 2021, the concom made the decision to hold the con on-line only over concerns that COVID-19 would still be impacting the world enough that calling for an in-person convention would be risky. However, it was later decided an to have an in-person convention with live streamed programming portions for those unable or uncomfortable with attending in person.
