Erasmuscon

A bridge between…

Eurocon 2024: the European convention for Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror, running since 1972. We are delighted to bring Eurocon to the Netherlands for the first time ever.

Join us at the monumental WTC Convention Centre in Rotterdam on 16 – 19 August 2024.

There will be an exciting programme full of interesting guests where you can participate in panels and workshops, and, of course, there will be a large room for our dealers, where you can buy books and all things fantasy, science fiction, and horror related.

If you’d like to find out more or get involved, please feel free to contact us at info@erasmuscon.nl
