Time for RetCon 2023!

On Saturday 30 September 2023 we open the doors to our fifth Transformers convention. This time we move to Lund, Sweden, and Elite Hotel Ideon.

Our programme isn't finalized yet, but we are working hard to bring you the best possible programme, with something for just about everyone. As usual there will be celebrity guests, toy vendors, quizzes, competitions, activities, panels, and a lot more!

We have one guest of honour so far: the voice actor David Sobolov, who has done voice in numerous Transformers productions, for television shows, movies and video games!

The convention is held at hotel Elite Hotel Ideon in Lund.

Some important details:

The primary language of the convention is English. Depending on the number of attending children we might do some events (competitions in particular) in Swedish as well, but at the moment we can't make any promises. Children under 12 years of age come in for free (one child for every paying adult in the group).

The currency used at the convention is Swedish kronor, SEK. We advise attendees to get their money exchanged before the convention, and dealers to convert their prices to SEK. There are a number of currency exchange stores in Lund, some of which are open at least part of Saturday, but it's still a wise idea to get the money exchanged in advance.

We do not have the capacity to handle card payments at the convention; only cash is accepted. Some of the dealers can also accept the Swedish mobile payment system Swish, and/or PayPal.

Registration deadline:

20 September.
