Fast Facts

Orbital 2008

"The 2008 Eastercon"

Mar 21, 2008 - Mar 24, 2008
Radisson Edwardian Hotel, Heathrow Airport London, England United Kingdom
 

Highlights

Our theme is orbits, so we'll be having lots of programme items to encourage this.

Our style is lots of programme streams and more interactive discussions than Eastercons normally run to. We'll still have the traditional talks and panels, but will also include many discussion items where the audience will be encouraged - nay, expected - to contribute to the discussion.

We'll also be covering the various subsets of fandom: books, television, movies, comics, writing, costuming, filking, and so on. We have an inclusive approach to programming.

And yes, we do plan to have a Masquerade. In fact, we plan to have a Masquerade and a Cabaret. The Cabaret will be a showcase for any fannish skills such as belly dancing, comedy sketches, filk songs, musicians, etc. The wider the range, the better (Acts should be no more than three minutes without prior agreement from Programme staff).
