We're planning an unusual and challenging program at Loscon this year, taking advantage of the incredible variety of authorial, artistic, and other talent at our disposal. We'll be asking some important questions, and some whimsical and playful ones too.

Get ready for some provocative panels, dazzling art displays, and explorations of the realms of science, art, and the human mind itself.

There will be all manner of presentations, including a rocket exhibit, stargazing with Chris Butler, and a few that we can't tell you about yet... You'll just have to show up and see for yourself!
