All the International convention Dates


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I thought it would be fun to try and crowdsource the exact dates for the conventions. Our official site, jwevent.org, only lists the month.

 

This way, we can better search for online news (or social media) about specific convention cities, so long as we gather the dates.

 

edit: apparently you can just ask ChatGPT for the exact dates and it’s able to fetch them (except for the months in the past). I’d still appreciate anyone willing to help fact check the precise weekend dates.

 

June 2026

  • Douala, Cameroon — date?
  • Bucharest, Romania — date?


July 2026

  • Calgary, Canada — July 3–5
  • Warsaw, Poland — July 3–5
  • Porto, Portugal — July 3–5
  • Stockholm, Sweden — July 3–5
  • Hamburg, Germany — July 3–5
  • Kaohsiung, Taiwan — July 10–12
  • Panama City, Panama — July 10–12
  • Milwaukee, USA — July 17–19
  • St. John’s, Canada — July 17–19

 

August 2026

  • Vilnius, Lithuania — August 7–9
  • Utrecht, Netherlands — August 7–9
  • Quito, Ecuador — August 7–9
  • Johannesburg, South Africa — August 7–9

 

September 2026

  • Curitiba, Brazil — September 4–6

 

October 2026

  • San Diego, USA — October 2–4

 

November 2026

I think that was the previous week? At least that appears to be what the venue's website suggests?
