Note 1: This grid is subject to change. This is not only not set in stone, it is not even set in Jell-o™.
Note 2: Until Con’ the ultimate authority will be the Program Book. However, as we learned last year with the Cthulhu Rising in at least two of our venues, room schedules can change to fit the needs of the day. We’ll do our best to keep you informed through various channels. Watch the Programming page for more information of the Program Book and other information relevant to Programming.
Note 3: Any space marked BYOP = “Bring your own programming” is unassigned programming space. It is available on a first come first server basis for a programming item that may have run over, or for those panels that just spontaneously happen.
