If there’s anything you’d like to see discussed at this year’s Conflux convention, particularly relating to the themes of Dreaming and The Roaring 20s, email programme@conflux.org.au

]]> http://conflux.org.au/blog/2008/06/20/panel-ideas/feed/ Programming for Conflux 5 http://conflux.org.au/blog/2008/04/14/programming-for-conflux-5/ http://conflux.org.au/blog/2008/04/14/programming-for-conflux-5/#comments Mon, 14 Apr 2008 01:48:34 +0000 The Programmer Uncategorized http://conflux.org.au/blog/2008/04/14/programming-for-conflux-5/ Work has begun on preparing the program for Conflux 5. Currently, we’re finalising the 13 workshops we will be offering, and then it will be getting the Virtual Mini-con together. But if you’ve got any ideas for panels or things that you think would add to the overal ambience and fit in with our major theme of Dreaming and our minor theme of the Roaring 20s in New York, then email programme@conflux.org.au

As a heads up, the overall look of the convention will be something like this:

Friday: nine workshops, three at a time, taking place at 9am, 12pm and 3pm, followed by opening ceremony around 7.30pm and a cocktail party. Dealers room will be open during this day, and art show possibly as well. All of this at the hotel

Saturday: three streams of panels, a stream of author readings and kaffee klatches, creative corner in the art show with some artists working there, mass book signing in the late afternoon, Prohibition era New York dinner in the evening.

Sunday: again, three streams of panels, a stream of author readings and kaffee klatches, creative corner in the art show, in the evening there will be a speak easy for some low key entertainment.

Monday: in the morning panels and author readings and kaffee klatches, in the afternoon workshops and closing ceremony and dead dog party.

While nothing’s set in stone, I’d be surprised if it varies from that too wildly. So let us know your thoughts. programme@conflux.org.au

It’s both sad and relieving - exhaustion is the name of the day.

I’m going to put a list of all the places and people that blog about Conflux later, but for now you can see my report at http://tillianion.livejournal.com/ and see pics courtesy of Cat Sparks at http://flickr.com/photos/42956650@N00/sets/72157602226509932/

Honestly, I’m already in love :) Graham and I went and had coffee and a bit of a drive around Canberra before he went back to the hotel to collapse (fair enough considering he’d just spent more than 24 hours travelling).

Graham’s a very easy to chat to person - has a great understanding and love of cons, so he’s more than ready to get involved and party on. So those of you coming to Conflux are sure to have a great time with Graham.

In terms of the convetion all is done, apart from the odd little tweak here and there. I actually had the time to take a nap this afternoon - thank goodness, I was absolutely exhausted.

Tomorrow, more guests arrive - Kaaron Warren, Simon Brown and Jonathan Strahan. We have the first official event - a dinner at the yacht club. The final guests - Garth Nix, Kevin J Anderson and Rebecca Moesta - arrive Friday morning. By then, we’ll be well and truly off and running.

It’s very exciting - I’m sure everyone’s going to have a great time. If you haven’t seen the timetable yet, go to www.conflux.org.au/2007/programme.shtml There’s been a couple of small adjustments since then, but overall you can see how cool it’s going to be.

Go Conflux!

They’ll still run, but more voices and opinions would be great. If any of them interest you, email chair@conflux.org.au Note that Conflux is limiting people to a total of four panels, in order to ensure a multitude of opinions and voices are heard.

  • Beach balls and strobes - cheap but effective special effects.
  • Moving on from mobiles - where to next for technology?
  • Levels 1 to 10 - the role of gaming in developing the genre
  • Scrolling through the story - past, present and future of webpublishing
  • Urban versus paranormal - which romance is which?
  • Telling the future - how divination really works.
