Program Participant Questionnaire

Welcome to the Program Participant Questionnaire.

Whether you're new to SF cons or have participated in Worldcon programs before, welcome! We know this questionnaire is lengthy, but please complete as much as you can to help us create the best possible program and to ensure that we match you with suitable program items. It is not necessary to complete the form in one session: you can save your answers, and then return to the form at a later date to update it.

Some fields have a small blue icon next to them. You may hover your mouse over the blue icon to display more information. Fields that are in red are required.

Please note that to save the questionnaire you need to click the submit button at the end of the page. You can always come back and make changes to your saved answers at a later date.
