Call for Programming

such_heightsHi all,
First, two important registration dates that got left off the original announcement post: price of registration increases to £52 on March 17th, and registrations close on April 14th.
Now then, on to the exciting business of programming.
The con is made by the participation of attendees - the themes, focus and range of programming is all down to you.
There are two kinds of programming you can facilitate:
Vid Shows
Vid Shows are put together by one or two volunteer VJs, who pick a theme and assemble a playlist of awesome vids on that theme. The theme can be content-based, e.g. 'animals', or style-based, e.g. 'comedy vids'. It's really up to you. We recommend that you pick a theme broad enough to put together a diverse playlist. Ideally, each vid should be from a different fandom/source, and there should be a good range of vidders and styles represented. Vid shows should last between 40 and 45 minutes.
Vid shows we've had in previous years that we're keen to recreate if there's interest are 'Made in the UK', showcasing UK fandoms, and 'Best of Festivids', a playlist of some of the best of![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
festivids. If anyone would be interested in VJing either of those shows, please email concom@vidukon.co.uk
Panels
Panels can be run in all kinds of different ways, from powerpoint presentation to roundtable discussion. Panels can cover any aspect of the world of vidding, from technical discussion to looking at vidder culture. You can also run a joint vidshow + panel.

This post is a chance for people who are thinking about coming to the con to throw out ideas for what kind of programming they'd like to see. Either throw out ideas for things you'd like to do yourself to gauge interest, or share your thoughts on the sort of programming you'd like to see as an attendee.
If you decide that you're definitely interested in running a vid show or a panel, email concom@vidukon.co.uk with your idea by Sunday 27 January. The concom will then put together a schedule that is as varied as possible and contact the people whose ideas we'd like to go ahead with. VJs and panelists will then have until Friday 15 March to submit the vids they'd like to show and information for the programme.
*
Can't make it to the con but interested in doing some programming? That's an option too - you don't have to be there in person to put a vidshow together, and if anyone has any creative ideas of running a panel from a distance, let us know.

So, what would you like to see at Vidukon this year?
