Loscon 49 is a convention to be held November 24–26, 2023, at the LAX Marriott in Los Angeles, CA. The GoHs will be Peter S. Beagle, Echo Chernik, and Elayne Pelz.
Due to the collapse and cancellation of Westercon 75 in Anaheim, Loscon 49 will also be the 2023 Westercon and will conduct site selection for the 2025 Westercon.
Westercon 75[edit]
Westercon 75 was scheduled to be held June 30–July 3, 2023, at the Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort in Anaheim, CA. The GoHs were to be Gail Carriger and Kevin Grazier. It was originally chaired by Arlene Busby and Michelle Weisblat-Dane.
On May 9, 2023, the committee announced that it was cancelling the Anaheim convention due to "a cascade of circumstances." Under these circumstances, Westercon’s management is the responsibility of LASFS. Loscon 49 will carry out the official functions of Westercon for 2023.
The selection of Westercon 75 was a mess, complicated by Covid-19 and a malaise affecting Westercon in general. See 2023 Westercon Site Selection for details.
