Supporters

Swancon would like to acknowledge the generous support of our sponsors and supporters

Major Sponsors

City of South Perth

Thank you to the City of South Perth for their financial support with a grant of $5000 as part of their Community Development Grants program. This grant will allow us to provide a quality conference style event to the community without placing the financial burden of the full, genuine cost of delivery of such an event on to individual community members.

Fremantle Press

We are so excited to be celebrating our 50th anniversary alongside the amazing institution that is Fremantle Press. A nationally renowned, non-profit, independent publisher who has been brining us quality works from Western Australian authors since 1976.

The generous support of Fremantle Press has enabled us to include Bernice Barry, author of Names of the Hare, in our guest line-up.

Member for South, Geoff Baker

Thank you to Geoff Baker MLA for a financial donation of $500 and in kind support of the printing of our posters, bookmarks and program booklets – you have made the marketing team very happy!
