You don’t have to have been on a panel or run a panel before to contribute panel ideas. We want panel suggestions from all walks of our diverse and vibrant community! That means you!
For those who are not aware, many of our programming ideas for the next convention are generated at this upcoming October session. Once we have a list of ideas, we proceed to enter them all into our database. By February 1st, our list of ideas goes live and we invite CONvergence members to volunteer as panelists and moderators. For more information, check out our panel scheduling page.
Child Care
Child care will be available during the Programming Brainstorming Session. Please contact CONvergence Programming with the number of children you plan to bring and their ages. This helps CONvergence make sure there will be enough people and appropriate activities available for your children.
Can’t make the Brainstorming Session?
If you can’t make it to a brainstorming session, we encourage you suggest panels online via our Panel Suggestion Form!
Additionally, If you already have specific ideas for panels that you would like to see, present, or run yourself, please send them to us via the web rather than saving them for the brainstorming session; it’s faster and easier than trying to dictate while a roomful of people are waiting. You are welcome to both submit panel ideas online AND attend the brainstorming session!
Panel suggestions will be accepted until March 1st, 2019. However, they really should be in by February 1st, 2019 to have a good chance of making it onto the CONvergence 2019: The Next Celebration schedule.
CONvergence Party Info Sessions
Because we know you have a lot of questions, CONvergence will be hosting a series of information sessions regarding future plans for CONvergence Room Parties in the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. If you have helped host a party in the past, plan to help host a party at CONvergence 2019, or might be interested in hosting a party some time in the future, these information sessions are for you!
We will:
- Share Hyatt Reagency Minneapolis room configuration information
- Discuss new, more flexible party guidelines for CONvergence 2019
- Tell you how you can become more involved on a higher level with CONvergence’s party planning
When:
October 12, 2018, 6:30pm – 8:00pm
October 13, 2018, Noon – 1:30pm
October 16, 2018, 6:30pm – 8:00pm
