It was the 54th Australian National Science Fiction Convention.

Difficulties with access to this convention for fans with special needs such as wheelchairs or prams may have been responsible for an award to feminist convention Gynaecon being presented at Swancon 41 rather than Swancon 40. It seems that the hotel had advised that it was accessible on the strength of providing access to hotel guests arriving by taxi, but that access from the sidewalk was problematic.
