For those who haven't heard, there was a rescue bid for next year's Eastercon - it's going to be held at the big Metropole hotel in the NEC near Birmingham airport:

Innominate aka The Con with no Name - the web site will be as below but isn't live yet. I can't remember the guests except that they are all UK residents - I'm guessing this was done for expediency in putting things together at short notice.
http://www.eastercon2017.uk

Update from [livejournal.com profile] coth - Innominate's guests are Pat Cadigan, Judith Clute and Colin Harris.

And Eastercon 2018 will be Follycon in Harrogate - web site is up but not fully operational yet.
https://www.follycon.org.uk
Guests Kieron Gillen, Christina Lake, Nnedi Okorafor and Kim Stanley Robinson

Update from [livejournal.com profile] bohemiancoast - Follycon's facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/follycon2018

These are both very experienced committees and hopefully there won't be more crises.

I can't help wondering if some of the early privately run space colonies will be along the lines of the survivalist colony described in this week's episode of Elementary:

A total scam with most of the supplies, life support, equipment etc. fakes designed to part investors and clients from their money.

Probable spoilers in comments, if any.
