Please take the time to read them, and be prepared to submit your proof of vaccination once we have that system in place. The COVID policies may be revised as the convention approaches, depending on local circumstances.

Escapade Hybrid Structure

[escapade_team]

How will that work, you ask? We hope it will be seamless for everyone. If at first it's not, we trust that willing and resourceful fans will help to sort it out.

MORNINGS ONLINE (8 AM – noon PT)
All scheduled programming in the morning will be online only to make them available to as many time zones as possible. If you're attending the convention in person you can join using your own computer/tablet/phone from your hotel room or the hotel atrium (or the grassy park across the street for all we care). You may gather together to get a shared experience of the online panels. We will have some laptops and tablets available for use in the main consuite if you don't have a laptop or tablet.

AFTERNOONS IN PERSON (noon – 6 PM PT)
All scheduled programming in the afternoon (PT) will be in-person only. We will sit in rooms together, with masks on, and have a "normal" Escapade panel experience (if that's even a thing).

EVENINGS IN PERSON AND ONLINE (7 – 10-ish PM PT)
The Friday night party and the Saturday evening vid show will be held in person, with streaming access available for those attending online.

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE UNUSED SPACE?
The onsite panel rooms in the morning, and the zoom channels in the afternoon/evening will be available for DIY programming sign-ups. Directions on how to reserve/sign up for time slots will be coming soon.

HOW CAN I ACCESS ONLINE PROGRAMMING?
Online panels will be presented through Zoom; the vidshow will stream on Vimeo. We'll have a "test drive" training session the weekend before the convention so you can make sure you'll be able to access everything.

Panel Ballot Open!

[escapade_team]

The Escapade panel ballot is open for voting! Take this opportunity to let us know what you want on the final schedule. You can vote through April 1, 2022.

Here is the direct link to the panel ballot: https://escapadecon.net/panels/panel-ballot/

There are four categories of panels that can be opened and closed with up/down arrows. For each panel, you can vote your level of interest (from Not Attending through Will Lead). Each panel title is followed by the location that the suggester recommended: online, in person, or no preference. Depending on the number of votes, we might offer some panels both online and in person.

After you've voted for all the panels you're interested in, be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom and click the "Submit" button.

You can come back and update your votes through 4/1. If you lose track of the link above, there's a direct link on the home page, or you can get there through the menus: Programming > Panels, then scroll down to the red "Vote" button.
