Two and a half months remain until we open the inter-dimensional portals of imagination that bridge the future that neverwas with Wonderland, which means we should have the first draft of the schedule ready soon for your viewing and planning pleasure!
Meanwhile, all VIP tickets for Gail Carriger have sold out, but four VIP tickets are still available: two for Leanna Renee Hieber and two for the Unwoman. VIP tickets include an exclusive cocktail party on Friday, VIP banquet on Saturday, and High Tea on Sunday, plus a number of other great advantages such as access to the VIP lounge.
Program Updates
This week we added the following panels and presentations to the Schedule:
