Time and Space in Speculative Fiction 
Hi, this sounds very interesting, but there’s one thing I didn’t find from the CFP information: when this symposium is going to happen? I have quite a few interesting conferences this year, so I’d like to know if I can make it in this one or not.
The date stated at the top of the page is when the symposium takes place the date for submitting is below the call.
And WHEN will this symposium be held? Or should we judge that Time & Space -symposium is happening all the time, but only in Uppsala?
April 23rd as it says on the website.
Hi, your email address on the website doesn’t seem to work properly? My email came back to me with a note that the address had fatal errors.
Thank you for notifiying us, there was a slight mistake.
Hi, I just registred, though I think I should mention somewhere that I won’t participate all day. I will arrive just before 12 and I have to leave about 15:30.
Thank you for interesting seminar and discussions in dinner.
A short blog-report of seminar may be found in

It’s in Finnish, but at least the photos are recognizable 🙂
Hope to see you all in Finncon 2013 (http://2013.finncon.org)
