Comments: Worldcon is the World Science Fiction Convention, which travels around each year. Last year, it was in Helsinki, Finland. This year it is in San Jose, CA. Next year, it will be in Dublin, Ireland. In 2020, it will probably be in Wellington, New Zealand. ER focusing on Costume Programming – how to make stuff, resources, and inspirations for costumes.

As to number of event attendees, the numbers fluctuate each year, since Worldcon travels around. We are expecting somewhere between 8-10,000 people in San Jose, CA. Since I am looking for people to participate in Costume Programming, Looking for people willing and able to share information for people who want to make their own Star Wars costumes, and maybe join your organization.
