Program Coordinator

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;
