The convention will run from early afternoon on Friday, September 4th to late afternoon on Monday, September 7th. There may also be some limited activities available for pre-registered members on Thursday night, September 3rd, depending on the travel schedule of our guests. Tentative plans for major events include a special event on Friday night, the Maskerade on Saturday night, and a Banquet in the early evening on Sunday. We will have special panels with our guests including a spotlight talk/interview with Terry Pratchett, which will probably occur on Saturday afternoon. We will also have a Charity Auction to benefit Terry Pratchett's favorite charity, the Orangutan Foundation, as well as the Alzheimer's Research Trust. This will likely be held on Sunday afternoon. There may be some additional fund-raising activities during the weekend as well. Outside of the major panels and events we plan to have more discussion panels, presentations, readings, demonstrations, games, and other activities that will make this a fun and memorable weekend for everyone. We'll also have a Marketplace (dealer's room/art show), a Hospitality Suite, and other areas for attendees to explore. More detailed Program information for our convention will be added here soon!
