Title: Safe Spaces at Cons

Status: confirmed

Proposed by: Sarah Parker

Description:

Every one thinks of conventions as safe spaces where they can just hang out and be. This is not always true. Our panellists will talk about creating safe spaces, maintaining safe spaces, safe spaces at conventions and the unspoken rules of safe spaces at cons.

Includes discussions of the "Open Source Boob Project", room parties and conventions we've been to. There might be some amusing stories in there too, as well as some warnings and food for thought.

Adult themes.

Status: confirmed

Proposed by: Sarah Parker

Description:

Are you coming to your first Swancon on Friday?

I'm hosting a Welcome Lunch at the restaurant just down the road. I'll be there with some friends to ask how you're day is going, what your impressions are, and answer any questions you like. Feel free to bring friends, and just drop in for a bit. Lunches at the Lido vary between $7 - $20, and a wide range of Asian dishes are on offer.

Please drop by and say hello!

When? Friday 12:30 pm until 2pm at

Where? The Lido Restaurant 416 William St, Northbridge, WA, 6003, (08) 9227 5545

Who? I'll be there with a name tag, plus a few others, and maybe a committee member. There will be Swancon signs on the table, so look for the shiny artwork.I'll also be wearing my Hungry Caterpillar necklace, which may help some of you find me. :-)

Title: Women at Worldcon - Round Table Discussion

Status: confirmed

Proposed by:

Description:

Women at Worldcon - historically, there has been a serious lack of women in Worldcon Programmes. How many women have been GoHs? How many women panelists are volunteering? What can we do about this? A moderated discussion about the kinds of things we would like to see representing women at Aussiecon4 and our plans to make them happen. What would YOU like to see on the program?
