For immediate release: Friday 7 March 2003
Interaction Holds Open Meeting for Glasgow Fans
Interaction will be holding an Open Meeting in Glasgow
on Saturday 15th March 2003, including a visit to part of
the Convention site, an open Q&A session with senior Interaction
staff, and social events in the afternoon and evening. The
event will be based at the City Inn hotel
on Finnieston
Quay, a few hundred meters from the main Convention site at
the Scottish Exhibition and Conference
Centre (SECC).
This will be the first Open Meeting since the award
of the 2005 Worldcon to Glasgow, but continues the policy
of outreach and engagement established in the Bid. Whilst
the Interaction committee is drawn from around the world,
the Convention is committed to developing strong links
with SF fans and related groups from Glasgow and Scotland
in general. Further meetings are expected to be held
in 2004 and 2005, and a large local turnout is expected
for the Convention itself.
Full details of the meeting arrangements can be found
