EVE Fanfest 2025 - First Keynote Speakers Announced

Warp to Iceland in 2025 - Early Bird Tickets Available!

Today, CCP Games is proud to make the first official program announcement (of many to come) for EVE Fanfest 2025, the annual celebration of spaceship MMO EVE Online and its intrepid community. EVE Fanfest 2025 will take place May 1-3 next year at Harpa Conference Hall, a beloved landmark in the heart of Reykjavik’s cultural district that has hosted several past Fanfest events. 

CCP Games is looking forward to welcoming the following keynote speakers on the main stage for the seventeenth EVE Fanfest: 

  • Dr. Becky Smethurst: Award-winning astrophysicist, author, and Royal Astronomical Society Research Fellow at Oxford University. 
  • Dr. Ronald Turner: Senior Science Advisor to the NASA Advanced Concepts (NAIC) Program and EVE player, Fa’ile. 

In addition to guest speakers, EVE Fanfest attendees can expect tours, social events, special announcements and new product reveals, presentations by EVE developers and players, panel discussions, the legendary Pub Crawl, the Party at the Top of the World, and much more.  

EVE Fanfest 2025 looks set to be even bigger than last year’s event, which sold out completely. The first three tiers of Pioneer Early Bird tickets are now entirely sold out, but CCP Games has issued an extra batch of Early Bird tickets. Never in the history of EVE Fanfest have ticket tiers sold out this quickly and so far in advance of the festival. 

Eager attendees can purchase their Early Bird tickets to EVE Fanfest 2025 today on Eventbrite
