Programme
Theme:
Smofcon 19 will have as its programme theme
"People and Personalities". What is the best way to turn an informal fan
grouping into an effective committee? How can you find people's unexpected
strengths ? Why does someone you enjoy talking to as another fan turn out to be
so difficult to work with ? How can we avoid putting round fans in square holes
?
People vary a lot and fans can vary even more. Some like small cons but
are horrified at the idea of anything larger. Some work well meeting in
person, others on the phone and others via e-mail. Join us as we hunt 'The one
true way", and then murder it. Instead we want to give everyone a chance to look
at different ways of conrunning from across the world and choose what suites
them.

Stuff about
York:
While you are in York, there are lots of
things to do and see. As is
traditional with Smofcon, there will be
dinner expeditions to many of the
good restaurants of the City. We
pride ourselves on the many fine
museums, from the County Museum with its
unique collection of Victorian
household artefacts to the Jorvik museum with
its distinctive look at
everyday life under the Vikings.
