Here it is! After months of planning, we have the Panels & Events schedule for This ConFusion Is Not Yet Rated.
Hey, look! Even more authors are showing up!
A ConFusion fixture, this year's masquerade will be no less exciting than usual, with the special theme "Steampunked Fairy Tales"! Bring your favorite fairy tales to life re-imagined with brass, gears, and steamworks, and take part in a parade of fascinating ideas. If you aren't inspired by the theme, though, don't let that put you off, prizes--which include ConFusion 2012 memberships, T-Shirts, books, and more--will be awarded in other categories as well. Muster starts at 7pm on Saturday night. Pre-register to compete or just strut your stuff on stage. Forms available until 5pm Saturday at Ops.
The Programming Idea Submission and Program Participant surveys are now officially closed for the 2011 ConFusion. And while we appreciate your enthusiasm, odds are not good that the ideas submitted just three weeks before the con will actually get implemented. :-) Just sit tight and be ready to resubmit them for next year's ConFusion!
What do you like to dance to? Request a song to be played at the Friday or Saturday night dances.
