The Australian Discworld Convention is a 3-day event run by fans for fans of author Sir Terry Pratchett, famous for his humorous fantasy books - especially the Discworld series. The convention includes panels, special guests, workshops, creative events, costumes and a Gala Dinner, all focused on Terry Pratchett's works.
Step through the portal to the fantasy realm of Sydney and the year 2026 for the tenth Australian Discworld Convention.
All the witches have their own story and like all good stories... there's a twist!
Want to be involved but not sure how? Become a witch in training. Learn to be as nosey as Nanny, as confident as Perdita X and, to just do the job in front of you, like Tiffany.
The convention is a chance to meet other fans of Sir Terry Pratchett, have fun and share the humour of the books. You might like to dress up as a favourite character - many attendees do, but it is not compulsory.
We aim to pack a lot of fun into 3 days, running multiple events simultaneously and finishing late in the evening on Friday and Saturday.
The conventions are run by fans and while not-for-profit, money is raised for a chosen charity via the auction. Like Terry's books, the conventions are family-friendly.
You can find more details in the Newcomer's ABC, and answers to all those obscure questions (like what does "Nullus Anxietas" mean?) can be found in our FAQ.

The fires are damped, the bunting has been put away, the scumble barrel is empty, the cauldron has stopped bubbling and the broomsticks are ready for departure...
Thank you all for such a bewitching convention - we are sure you all had a wonderful time, and will spread the good word to the rest of your coven.1

Speaking of...
There's a shift in the air; anticipation, subtle as a sigh, sharp as a knowing glance. The hedgerows are rustling with purpose, the kettle's begun to boil of its own accord, and the shadows have taken to watching rather than lurking. These are the signs, clear enough to those who know better: the witches are arriving. No fuss or fanfare, mind you, just a quiet step across the threshold into the realm of Sydney, as if they've always been there. So, straighten your hat, mind your thoughts, including your …
From the desk of Miss Perspicacia Tick.
It seems like only yesterday, we were sending out the very first issue of Broomsticks and Cauldrons to keep you all informed of the goings-on of all the Witches planning for Nullus Anxietas X, the Australian Discworld Convention.
But, as Nanny Ogg has been known to say, "Tempers Fuggit". Which, if I may apply my somewhat more classical education to, means "Time Flies". Like an arrow, some may say.1
The convention fast approaches, and we look forward to seeing you …
