Panels and Programming

updated August 19, 2008

We're almost finished putting together the programming for next fall. We will be offering science fact programming, game-related panels and events, writing workshops, author readings, book panels, fan discussions, costuming, and more.

Parties will be going on Friday and Saturday night at times to be announced at the convention. We'll also be throwing a birthday party for GoH Tanya Huff Friday night at 8pm.

If you'd like to be a presenter, panelist, or do an author reading, please email Programming Chair Dan Young.

The special programming tracks we will offer include the Science and the Future Symposium and Poetry of the Fantastic.

We've recently posted the 2008 writing workshops. You can also take a look at the panels we've offered at past conventions.
