Hi all! We have an opportunity for volunteers to join our Events team as Event Liaisons to help shape our events programme and support our event runners both before and at the convention. If you're great with people and enjoy organising and planning, read on to learn more and find out how to apply!

Hey folks! The lottery window for residential registration has closed and our system is locked for changes to residential registrations. New registrations can be made and any new residential ones will join the waitlist. We'll start to send lottery outcomes to attendees in about 3 days. Hang tight!

Hey all! Final call for our residential registration lottery! If you wish to be entered into the lottery for accommodation at our partner hotels, you must register by 8pm tomorrow, Monday 3rd August. This includes having a room share partner arranged and entered into the registration system!

It's hard work being a convention mascot! Wallace is enjoying some well deserved time off with our friends at AnthroIrish, send him home once he's finished having a good time and we'll send you some jam and tattie scones as a thank you. 💙

0w0 what’s this? But a scruffy scurvy doggy from Scotland!!! Wallace’s journey to 2027’s “Massive in the Metropolis” has been blown slightly off course! Don’t worry, we’ll put him on the boat back home once he’s finished partying with us!

Hey everyone! Our best wishes to our friends at @anthro.irish this weekend as they set off on a piratical adventure across the high seas! If you're joining them, have an amazing time but beware, great kaijus can lurk beneath those ocean waves!

Hi y'all! Our Photography team was hard at work during our 2026 event, capturing as many memories as their SD cards would hold. We're thrilled to announce that their work is now posted in our gallery at gallery.scotiacon.org.uk with over 3,000 photos of our adventure in the Old West! Go take a look!

Hi folks! Our event schedule has grown significantly over recent years. As we look to increase the number of event spaces we have, that schedule is only likely to grow and our team needs to grow to manage it. As part of that growth, we're recruiting two Deputy Heads for the Events team.

Hey everyone! Registration has been open for about a week and it's great to see so many of you excited to join us again in Glasgow next year. What happens next depends on if you are aiming for a residential or non-residential registration; here's what to expect!

Hi folks! Today's the day! Registration opens at 8pm! Remember, we now operate a lottery system for residential registrations. Like last year, badge numbers are assigned randomly, so there is no need to rush at 8pm. Being first doesn't affect your lottery chances!

Registration opens at 8pm tomorrow! Are you ready? New this year, we're offering the option to add a £10 donation to our 2027 charity, Willows Animal Sanctuary, as part of your registration. As with all our bolt-ons, this is totally optional and won't affect the lottery outcome for residential reg.

Hey everyone, a reminder that Dealers' Den applications close at the end of Sunday July 12th - that's today! Any applications we receive after this time will not be reviewed in our first round and will join our waitlist. You can submit your application by going to reg.scotiacon.org.uk

Hi everyone! Registration for Scotiacon 2027: Massive in the Metropolis will open at 8pm UK time on Monday July 20th! Remember, we are now operating a lottery system for residential registration, so you do not need to register immediately at that time to secure a room in one of our partner hotels!

Hello folks! 2026 was the largest convention we've ever had and registration was busier than ever. Due to the huge demand and the speed at which rooms sold, we wanted to let you know that in 2027 we will operate residential registration on a lottery basis. Let's talk about why and how it will work.

Hey everyone! We wanted to share an update on our Artist Alley for 2027. In 2026, queues for the Alley caused significant crowding and difficulty for attendees. To avoid this happening again, having considered many options, we have taken the difficult decision not to run an Artist Alley in 2027.

Hey all! Want to see your artwork feature in our conbook or at our convention? Artwork submissions are open! Whether your work is pint-sized or kaiju-scaled, we'd love to see it. Please check out the guides below to see what we need and how to submit art to us. We can't wait to see what you create!

Hi folks! Our Dealers' Den aims to open applications early so we can let dealers know whether or not they have a table before they commit to registering. With that in mind, we're happy to announce Den applications open on 6th July at 7pm UK time!

Hi folks! As part of a review of our communications we've taken two important decisions that we want to make you aware of. With immediate effect, we're ceasing our activity on Twitter/X and are opening a new channel on the Mastodon platform. Here's why we've chose to do this...

Hey folks! Sending our best wishes to our friends at @confuzzled.org.uk for their event this weekend. Do you know any musicals about kaijus? Our Dance Comp crew might appreciate some suggestions! If you're heading to Birmingham this weekend, we hope you have a rawrsome time! 💙

Hi Folks! As we evolve to ensure that Scotiacon is fit for the future and meets the needs of our attendees, our Head of Dealers' Den is stepping up to take on a broader role at the convention and this opens the opportunity for someone new to take on the Head of Dealers' Den role.

Hey folks! Our best wishes to the team at @ainmhicon.ie for their very first convention this weekend in Dublin! We are always excited to see new events emerging and showing how our community is growing and becoming even more vibrant. If you're heading there, have a great time! Go n-éirí libh!
