Preliminary Program Grid for Sam Lubell

This is the Preliminary program schedule. Sam Lubell may or may not actually be on these items, but probably will. However, due to circumstances beyond our control, modifications to the program can occur throughout the convention.

Saturday 10:00 am: The 2023 Hugo Awards (Ends at: 10:55 am) Jackson
Participants:Lawrence M. Schoen, Perrianne Lurie, Sam Lubell (M)
This year's Worldcon is in Chengdu, China (currently scheduled for 18 - 22 October). This is a rare opportunity to discuss the nominated Hugo finalists at a Capclave before the winners are announced. Panelists discuss the nominees and predict their winners!
Saturday 2:30 pm: What Are We Learning From Pandemic-Era Conventions? (Ends at: 3:25 pm) Jackson
Participants:Inge Heyer, Morgan Hazelwood, Perrianne Lurie, Sam Lubell (M), Thomas R. Holtz, Jr.
Three and a half years after the onset of COVID-19, conventions are still dealing with how to pivot on programming logistics as well as procedures and safety policies for attendees and participants. Which experiments are working and which did not go as planned? What long-lasting resources or protocols have emerged? How have these adjustments affected the ways in which fandom gathers?
Sunday 10:00 am: Modern Book Bans (Ends at: 10:55 am) Eisenhower
Participants:A.C. Wise, Andy Duncan, Mark Roth, Sam Lubell (M)
There has been an alarming trend of censoring and banning books in public libraries and schools often targeting LGBTQ, Black, and Latine stories and authors. Banned Book Week, a campaign promoted by the American Library Association and Amnesty International, starts on Sunday, October 1st. Who is behind the current book bans? How can we support the freedom to seek and to express ideas in our public spaces? Are there books that should be banned or have limited access?
