The dates for Pemmi-Con and Chengdu Worldcon are four months apart. It is not impossible to go to both!

The Indigenous Travel Fund provides First Nations and Metis members with the financial means to come to Pemmi-Con! We are trying our best to assist Indigenous people, from anywhere in the world, to come to our convention. We will not gatekeep who is Indigenous and who is not: the Fund is structured in such a way that Indigenous organizations will contact us to request funds for the individuals who they believe should be assisted to travel. There is a cap of $500 CAD per individual, so we can assist as many people as possible.
