Opening and Closing Ceremonies

Opening Ceremonies
With so much to do at a con, how do you decide what panels to go to or what special events to attend? A great way to start is to attend the Opening Ceremonies! Find out details about the special Guests of Honor and why you should go to their panels. Get the inside scoop on special events and extra special panels from the people who planned these great events, including, the Stardance Opening Number, the Philip K. Dick Awards, NORWESCON Honors, and more! Our wicked host may try to embarrass the con chair so don't miss the fun and a great way to kick off your NORWESCON weekend by sitting in on the Opening Ceremonies!

Closing Ceremonies
Such a long and wonderful weekend. Such wonderful memories we will take home with us. To allow us some modicum of closure, a means to debrief, and let our souls sigh until we meet again next year, we march with bittersweet steps to Closing Ceremonies. Say goodbye to those wonderful Guests of Honor who taught us so much and shared so generously from their experience. Say thank you to the many hardworking people who slaved all year to make this convention possible. Rejoice and riot when they announce the theme and special guests of honor for Next Year--all this and much, much more! Bring your special weekend to a close and say "until next year" at NORWESCON Closing Ceremonies.
