Hi, Programming Here,

I am hopeful to have a schedule up by the 1st of the year so you can start planning out your Concoction Activities. 
Until then we are still accepting panel submissions at http://www.clevelandconcoction.org/programming-signup.html

Speaking of programming I am still looking for a couple of people to help out in the programming department. Programming is an incredibly fun department to work with and you get to meet tons of awesome people. Bourbon is optional and sometimes they even allow us to play with the walkie talkies. 

All kidding aside, it really is a great department to take part in and we do have a lot of fun ( and don't forget IF you are on staff or you volunteer at the Convention your eligible to the volunteer price of 1/2 off your membership). 

I am looking for a movie/AV second who will help programming include more independent movie showings and film fests over the next couple of years

We are also looking for a Programming 2nd/Drop Dead Deputy. 

If your interested in joining the programming team please contact myself at Programming@clevelandconcoction.org or through Facebook.

The Programming Department has a poll out on Puppets at ConCoction 2016! 
"Bring on the Puppets!
This year's theme is a mashup of space and puppets. 
5 Official ConCoction Puppets will be built for the Convention- 2 designed by the confused Greenies, 1 by a guest artist and 2 by YOU the fans. 
Let us know what kind of puppets (in space?) you would like to represent ConCoction this year.
Describe the puppet in the poll section and vote for you favorite idea- Have a picture or drawing? GREAT!!! Post it here as well.
