The conference will be held in person at the University of Glasgow.

The Once and Future Fantasies conference will not issue refunds for conference registration and associated fees after 24 June 2022, as this would put the conference at risk. Exceptional circumstances may be considered (please contact oncefuturecon@glasgow.ac.uk).
