The Swancon Program Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the team of people who produce the final program, including:
- community engagement to seek program items, descriptions & participants;
- development of program items & descriptions to suit guests of honour;
- development of program items & descriptions relevant to the theme of the convention;
- selection of a balanced range of items & genres to fill the program;
- seeking additional participants for program items where required, eg to obtain panellist parity;
- communication with participants about their availability, & AV requirements;
- scheduling of items in the program, taking into account participant, AV and room availability;
- producing the final program, both grid & descriptions for the Program Book;
- producing a hotel briefing on room requirements / resets with the Venue Liaison;
- notifying panellists of their schedules;
The CSC's Programming subcommittee (which usually consists of previous and future Swancon programmers) is available to help with most of these things;
