*sigh* Despite our best efforts to minimise concrud from Continuum 16, we unfortunately are aware of a number of attendees and committee members who have tested positive to Covid.

If you attended Continuum this year, we strongly recommend you test yourself, and above all, look after yourself.

Big shout out to @continuumcon.bsky.social 16 convenors, board and volunteers. Thanks for bringing us back our local con and your efforts to renew. Thankless and invisible jobs when everything works. Well done all!

Had a fantastic time at @continuumcon.bsky.social #c16Reboot and the Aurealis Awards! Caught up with and met lots of wonderful authors and other creatives (sorry if I missed you in the blur and hopefully we’ll catch up at Conflux!). 🧵

See you soon.

Less than 24 hours until... Continuum!

The Guests of Honour have all arrived, the panels are scheduled, the karaoke machine is paid for, the venue is mapped, and the con committee is all sleep deprived. We're ready, are you?

Coming to Continuum this weekend (eek!) and not sure what you should bring? Well, this is what's in the bag of one of our con committee!

As part of Continuum 15 we got pins made... which didn't actually arrive in time for the convention.

As a result we are selling them, one con and a few years later. They will be $15 each, or two for $25, and will be available from the rego desk.

To preorder email info@continuum.org.au
