Stockon 5

Stockon 5 was held in Stockholm, Sweden on April 17-19, 1965 (ending on a Monday). Because of the long gaps between conventions in Sweden at the time, the turnout was small, about 25 people. It was chaired by John-Henri Holmberg and run by a small group of fans within the Swedish SF Convention Society who wanted to see more conventions in Sweden.

The program included:

• A panel discussion on "Different Conceptions of Life"
• A panel discussion on what could be done to save Stf in Sweden
• There were some science-related items, included discussion between two astronomers on the possibility of intelligent life on other worlds, and a lecture on prehistoric animals
• Some 8mm movies were shown
• An auction raised about $100
• Sam Lundwall, singing songs from his forthcoming filk album, got rave reviews
