Mythcon

Mythcon 55 will take place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in summer 2027! And it will be chaired by Tim Lenz, the Mythopoeic Society's Steward of Mythopoeic Conferences. Stay tuned for dates, theme, CFP, and more!

And contact [email protected] if you'd be interested in being part of the organizing committee.

In what may be a first, the Mythopoeic Society has had a special day proclaimed in the host city for our upcoming Mythcon. Pictured here is Mythcon Chair Phillip Fitzsimmons meeting the Mayor of Weatherford to accept this honor.

If you haven't yet attended an OMS, you can get a good idea of what they are about with the conference proceedings from this year's event which have just been published by Mythopoeic Press. You can also view the recordings of the conference (which includes even more presentations!) on our archive: https://dc.swosu.edu/oms/oms4/

Just released!
