Friday Programming Schedule

 

FenCon VI Friday Programming Highlights:


We welcome the early birds with intimate panels featuring our Toastmaster, Paul Cornell, at 3pm and Guest of Honor, Lois McMaster Bujold, at 4pm. We've got panels on Star Trek, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Batman, vampires, 50 years of Bad Movies, and much more.

Our DIY theme is represented by panels on starting a small press and methods to reduce your environmental impact. Paul Cornell hosts the Just a Minute game, and the Video Room celebrates Moonday.

After Opening Ceremonies at 7 pm, be sure to check out the FenCon ArtCraftTech Meetup as well as concerts from Music Guest of Honor Carla Ulbrich, 2007 Music Guest of Honor Tom Smith, and the great Luke Ski.
