Location:
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is pleased to host the World Horror Convention in 2009. We have an International airport, a Via Rail train station, a Greyhound bus station, and for those who love to drive, we are a seven-hour drive from Minneapolis, MN.

Theme: In the Dead of Winter, Hear the Wind Scream
This is a theme we believe that many people in the northern half of the US, the UK, and in Canada, can relate to.

When: April 30th ~ May 3rd, 2009
Our chosen dates were selected to prevent conflict with other events and to avoid wintery weather in order to allow people to see a bit of our picturesque city with its "green" on.

Membership:
The membership rates are good through the end of June. Supporting memberships may be upgraded up to Attending, including at the conference, by paying the difference on the current rate. (The Registration Form will be available within a day or two.)
