Moving on :) Some pretty interesting panels popping up. The growtix page has a screening category, wondering if anything will show up under it.

Some more panels up on growtix. I'm not certain if I will make Friday due to some other things that have come up but this sounds like a great panel for this con.


The Future definition of “Self” and “Being Human”
Friday April 6, 2018 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm

Right now we are seeing what CGI can do to bring us back characters (General Tarkin, Leia Organa) played by dead actors (Peter Cushing) or actors who have aged out of their roles that role (Carrie Fisher). What do we do when avatars of ourselves become available, when we can send holograms of ourselves to “work”, when we can rent out our memories for fun and profit? What happens when travel companies start offering paid vacations in return for all movie rights to your memories of that dive in the subglacial lakes of Antarctica, or your parasail over the mouth of an open volcano? What will “self” mean when we can swap memories with other people--or even with animals? These and other possibilities on our horizons will challenge our understanding of what and who we are. Join us as we discuss a future that will depend less on flying cars and more on neuroscience and the technology growing out of it.

It does sound interesting.  Hope to be able to arrange our time frame for the day to be able to make it.

Photo-Ops are on the schedule, but I wish there was a way to filter them out (but view everything else, rather than only being able to view each category individually.)

While we patiently wait for the official schedule, please enjoy these unofficial maps... (courtesy of the volunteer group)

1F:


2F:


The Panel Rooms show the capacity:

111: 140
114: 140
211ABCD: 238
212ABCD: 255
230A: 330
LL21 AB: 435
220BC: 1552

It looks like they've pulled back a bit from last year. Most of the main guests are in 220BC which is the biggest room, although it seems a little small at ~1500. In 2016 the Grand Ballroom was used for the Main Panels and in 2017 it was used for Photo Ops. This year it looks like they're splitting it for both.  No mention of the City National Civic on these or the schedule so far, which has capacity of ~3000. They just may not be using it at all, a shame since it was the perfect Main Hall...but they probably don't have that many names/panels that will fill that this year.

Some updates:
Stan Lee is confirmed to show up (at this point) with a video, although he still does not appear on the guest page
No premium (paid) panels this year according to one of their FB replies
Schedule will be up early next week (though it was supposed to be up "this week" last week...but I guess in any case it's on its way)
More info about the app coming this week
Star Wars panel will be on Friday...it isn't listed yet but photo ops with the actors are from 7:20 to 8:10, so the panel has to be at 6:00 (or earlier)
