CONfabulation

Voting for Virtual CONfab 2022 programming is now open! It will run from Friday, August 19th at 10AM Eastern, through Friday, September 2nd at 10PM Eastern. You can find all of our programming submissions in alphabetical order, separated by type, here on our website. They are also available in this spreadsheet, in the order they were submitted.

When you're ready to vote, simply fill out this form. We can't wait to see what you choose!

Programming submission time is coming soon! We will be accepting submissions starting on Friday, July 22nd and closing on Monday, August 15, 2022 for two tracks of programming. After the submission period ends, programming will be voted on and chosen by you, the attendees.

All programming will run in 45 minute time slots with 15 minute breaks in between. All programming can have multiple presenters, and the con will provide a volunteer to assist with modding, monitoring the chat, etc. Here's a handy guide to the types of programming we have to get you started:

• Multi-fandom Topics — Programming about a topic that applies to multiple fandoms (soulmate AUs, vintage fandoms, found families, diversity in genre TV, femslash, incest) or a more general fandom universe that has multiple smaller fandoms that fall under its umbrella (Video Games, Anime, K-Pop, Hockey, the MCU/Marvel TV, Star Wars). Previous topics have included boy bands, queer animated shows, fandom history, and the apocalyptic media.



• Single-fandom Topics — Programming about a single fandom (like Our Flag Means Death, 9-1-1, Critical Role, Obi-Wan Kenobi, or BTS), or a niche topic within fandom.
  
  
• Workshops — Programming where attendees get a chance to learn something new or hone their skills. Past workshop topics have included things like live beta reading, cross-stitch, fandom stitch 'n bitch, making fannish plushies, tabletop RPGs 101, and more, but they can be about anything you're interested in! If you submit a proposal for a workshop, you must be willing to run it. Workshop sessions also run for forty-five minutes, but if you feel like your workshop would benefit from more time, please let us know!

We look forward to hearing your amazing ideas for programming! Help make CONfab an awesome experience! We will be accepting submissions for all types of programming from everyone, whether you have registered for the con yet or not. This is your chance to get the programming you want by submitting your ideas. What are you excited about? Share it with the group!
