Garden Pavillion

Given the size of the Pavilion, we were able to accommodate everyone who requested a seat. If you were somehow missed, please email info@stokercon.com and someone will get back to you.

Author seating will be alphabetical by last name. There will be no exceptions; so, please, don't even ask.

You will be assigned a table number, of which you will be informed upon check-in. Please set up at that table number. Volunteers will be available to help you find your table. We have roughly 190 people signing. Please be patient. That's a lot of people to seat.

There are too many people to list here in Sched. It doesn't have the capacity to hold that many names. Please check the website for a complete list. We should have that list posed within the next few days.

This event is open to the public.
