Program Schedule is live!

We’ve looked to the stars for inspiration and we’re excited for you to see what we’ve found there! We’ve got panels related to general SFF topics, media, comics, art, writing, science, and other fannish interests. A few of the things we’re most excited about are below, but be sure to check out guide.capricon.org for the full schedule. 

Are you a writer? Check out our Writers’ Room, with a weekend-long schedule full of panels and workshops.

We are no longer accepting additional program ideas and have limited capacity to add new participants. If you would like to inquire about being added, please contact programming@capricon.org.
