Have you seen the panels that will be presented at Sirens in October?

Panels feature several speakers discussing a topic before an audience. Panels may take questions or discussion from the audience, but are not required to do so. Typically, a panel will be focused on discussion among the speakers, who might have something in common, who might have very different perspectives on a topic, or who might conduct a debate. Panels allow you to hear several perspectives without leaving your seat!

Follow this link to find out about the presenters and what they’ll be talking about in these presentations:

Generation K

The Great Big Interfaith Dialogue

The Iconoclastic Revolutionary

Mother of the Revolution: Self-Actualization as a Form of Rebellion

Women of the Revolution: Changing Genre and the World

Women of War: Trauma and Healing in Speculative Fiction

Writing the Fantastic: Insurrection, Intersection, and Evolution

If you would like to support both Sirens and our presenters, we invite you to sponsor these (and other) presentations. The cost is $35 per presentation, and we will include your name next to your chosen topic on the accepted programming page. We’ll also list your sponsorship in our program book for this year’s event if we receive your sponsorship by August 21, 2015.
