By John Freeman on February 25, 2016

This year’s Nine Worlds will take place at the Novotel London West, a large conference hotel in central Hammersmith with room for 3,000 attendees, from 12th to 14th August 2016. The convention will feature around 300 programme items, covering all aspects of modern geekery.

There is also going to be a full expo running alongside Nine Worlds, to which convention tickets include entry, with room for 60 vendors plus bar and social space.

The Novotel London West is in one of London’s major leisure and commercial centres. It is easily reachable by both public and private transport and offers numerous eating, drinking, and boarding establishments in the immediate area, complementing Nine Worlds own facilities over the weekend.

As well as the venue’s bars, cafes, restaurants, and terraces, Nine Worlds will have a mix of content and social spaces both large and small, a main hall for big events, and an exhibition hall.
