Programming Highlights
We are planning DemiCon 18's schedule. We have some old favorites and some new items planned. Here are a few highlights.
WORKSHOPS
-
Workshops and Limited Attendance Panels
- Learn how to Play Texas Hold'em with professional poker
player Adam Stemple on Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Gaming Room.
You've seen it on TV and the internet but how do you actually
play this game and what in the heck is a "button"? There are a
limited number of people who can sit at the table. If you want to
be at the table to learn this strategic game please email
programming@demicon.org. But if you want to watch please come
and stand around the table. This is not a Hold'em tournament
but a how-to play workshop.

Sign up to attend this wonderful opportunity. Enjoy coffee
and conversation with our author guest of Honor, Catherine
Asaro.
Attendance is limited to 10 persons.

and try to increase your iron intake before donating blood. We have had 2 successful
blood drives and would like to continue this tradition. Our blood drive is inspired
by the “Pay it forward” philosophy of Robert Heinlein and the Heinlein Society’s blood drives.
