Wilf Note:
These notes came with the email advising me about the con
They were too long to be included on the list page so they are included here.

Location: Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (Fakultet elektrotehnike i racunarstva - FER), Unska 3, Zagreb, Croatia.

There is a reference to accommodation links in the email but none were found.

Here are links to mostly all of the Zagreb hotels, motels and hostels (and much more info about the city; you don't really plan to
leave the day after the convention, do you?). If cost is not an issue, we reccomend Hotel International since it's 150 metres from the convention
site. If cost is an issue, contact us, we'll try and work something out that includes sleeping bags. However, at this moment we can't promise anything, so you better check the link above just in case.

Note: Sferakon is the longest-running and so far the most popular Croatian SF convention. The first one was held around 25 years ago, and in 1986 it hosted a Eurocon. It is organized by SFera, the Zagreb SF club. Usually more than 500 attendees and visitors pass through the halls during the
convention. We had Guests of Honour such as Frederik Pohl, Sam J. Lundval, Harry Harrison, Joe Haldeman, Martin Easterbrook, Robert Silverberg, Guy Gavriel Kay, Walter Jon Wiliams, Lois McMaster Bujold, Ken McLeod and eagerly await many, many more. The same goes for plain mortals - if you have nothing to do at the end of April, come and meet us. If you have other engagements, cancel them and come and meet us.

Croatia is slightly cheaper than Western Europe (although not as cheap as Bulgaria or Poland). However, taxis are pretty expensive (maybe not for West Europeans and/or Americans, but I may have to get back to you on that one) and, basically, you don't need them. Zagreb is not that big and the convention site is relatively near the city centre, so walking is a reasonable option (unless it rains during the convention, but that hasn't
happened for a while, all praise global warming). Also, both the train and the main bus station are near the centre; there is a direct bus from the
airport to the town (~3 EUR) and trams (single ticket~1 EUR, daily ticket~3 EUR) are not that crowded during weekends. MORE NOTES: Almost everybody here speaks English and you may even find someone who may be willing to whisper translation into your ear during the lecture/speech. If there is a foreign GoH, then his/her/its lectures will be in English - and some people will want to know that, if that happens, it will be in English only: there is NO PUBLIC SIMULTANEOUS TRANSLATION INTO CROATIAN ON SFERAKON!!!) EVEN MORE
NOTE: The entry ticket includes the annual Croatian-SF-short story collection (in Croatian)
