Programming
Our goal for KiScon 2011 is to celebrate the long tradition of K/S fandom in
all its facets. There’s programming covering both TOS and Reboot, which
will provide plenty to choose from for everyone.
The program runs from 9 am on Friday until 4pm on Sunday afternoon, with pre-registration
on Thursday evening. We’ve included lively panels (some involving our
Guests of Honor Kathy Resch and Seperis, as well as special presentations
on a
history of K/S art presentation by Caren Parnes and the Science of Star
Trek by Rhaegal), plus fun themed games and prize winning quizzes and competitions.
All vids submitted must be on a DVD that is compatible with Region 1 (US) and
submitted before the convention. Please contact the convention at vidshow@kiscon.org.
If you have any panel suggestions, talks you would like to give or games/events
you would like to run, please give details on your membership form
or email us at info@kiscon.org.
