HLWW8 (‘ Homecoming‘) whisked guests and attendees off to Vancouver, the Canadian city in which a large amount of the television series had been shot between 19. We were especially pelased to welcome Bill Panzer to our event, a rare appearance by one of the key-players of Highlander and his last event before his untimely death in 2007. HLWW7 (‘ A Call to Arms‘) took place in Leeds, England – the organisation’s first foray into European locations and, appropriately, most of the panels too place at the city’s famous Royal Armouries with guests and attendees surrounded by examples of weapons from throughout the ages.

Our first full convention under the banner was HLWW6 (continuing the count from HLDU years), held in April/May of 2005 in beautiful Sydney Australia. Our first event thereafter as HLWW was the France Tour in October of the same year. During the weekend of the Los Angeles Walkabout Workshop in February, 2004, Highlander DownUnder formally changed its name, becoming Highlander WorldWide, the officially-endorsed fan-club of the franchise.

It became clear over time that HLDU‘s membership was spread across the globe and with the organisation working closely with Davis-Panzer, a reputation for quality and far-reaching inclusion was being established. Guests of Honour included major Highlander stars and behind the scenes personnel:Adrian Paul, Bill Panzer, Peter Davis, Ken Gord, David Abramowitz Peter Wingfield, Jim Byrnes, Elizabeth Gracen, Valentine Pelka, Anthony De Longis, James Horan, Gillian Horvath, Donna Lettow, Roger Bellon, Don Paonessa as well as authors Maureen Russell and John Mosby (the latter of whom became our regular emcee for events). All participants met the guests of honour and had time to chat with them. They would lean towards discussion and participation and feature panel discussions, workshops, displays, competitions, merchandise and much more including get-togethers and a ceilidh. HLDU events established our standards, and quickly became proudly known as the cons at which all participants knew everybody else’s name. Highlander DownUnder, held Conventions in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia between 1997 – 2003.
