Help us celebrate the release of the latest Lord of the Rings film and the latest Harry Potter novel by joining us in a wide range of program items geared to the best in literary fantasy and science fiction! Aspiring writers will want to attend one of our many writers' workshops. Not interested in writing? We'll have a room dedicated to readings from your favourite authors. Are you looking for something a little more interactive? Then why not try one of our roundtable discussions, where you--the attendee--talk with others about issues ranging from unexplained phenomena to why animation and comics are still perceived as mediums for children. 

But we're not stopping there. UFP will host their popular Sci-Fi Jeopardy game once again. What's That Byte will be returning with all new soundbytes to puzzle your brain. And if that wasn't enough, we'll be hosting a several panels on costume making and presentation. Want more? Then try our Family Friendly Programming--programming which is geared towards families with fans ages six to twelve. We'll have something there for everyone, so join us at the one con to rule them all and in the fan community bind them!
