Guests of Honour
Every year we invite several distinguished guests to be our
Guests of Honour, each one representing a different facet of
the things that define what VCON is.

Guests of Honour Emeriti
There have been many, many VCON Guests of Honour over the
years and we love them! We love them so much, in fact,
that we regularly invite them to come back and hang out at VCON
again. And while we are positively ecstatic if a GoH
emeritus agrees to come out and join us as a programming
guest - and many of them do - we're more than happy to take
them any way we can get them.
This section will include the names, photos and a link to
additional information about each GoH Emeritus as we learn who
will be attending VCON 34.

Programming Guests
In addition to the Guests of Honour and
our esteemed Guest of Honour Emeriti
there are many others from within industry and fandom who have
been invited to attend VCON 34 as guests. Programming
guests participate in panels and as part of other officially
programmed convention events.
As each programming guest confirms their plans for
VCON 34 this section will be updated with their
names and additional information.
The following lists of confirmed programming guests are
organized by general topic. If a link is available it
will take you to a biography for that guest.
(These lists will be updated as more
guests confirm their plans)
