The Titancon team is in final negotiations with the newly completed Waterfront Convention Centre and the adjacent Hilton Hotel to host the convention. These venues are located in the centre of Belfast with views over the River Lagan.

Convention Co-Chairs Phil Lowles and Jo Playford told SFcrowsnest, “We are hugely excited to bring the Eurocon to Belfast, and are also working closely with Dublin’s bid to host the World Science Fiction Convention on the preceding weekend. Local fans will be able to interact with a wide range of authors, artists and other genre personalities, while visitors from the mainland UK, Europe, the US and further afield will be able to enjoy Belfast’s rich culture and share the wonderful talents of local writers, artists and craftspeople.”
