About the events:

Friday During the Day Slam Movie Marathon
with MuVee Chat

you’ll be able to MST3K your favorite slam videos... we added this for the peeps that are coming down early, and wanted to be able to have some fun... before the real fun starts, movie lineup to be determined.

Saturday Indie Publishing Panel
Interested in publishing? Self Publishing a little intimidating? Have we got the workshop for you!

Represented are:

Lawn Gnome Publishing founder Aaron Johnson (slam veteren, 2012 City of Phoenix Public Art Grant recipient) will offer a vision into the future of ebooks, zines, and micropublishing.

AZ Publishing Services sends Patti Hultstrandt, a long time veteran of the publishing trenches to talk about taking the next steps with your manuscript. Patti also published the ConNotations News Zine on behalf of the Central Arizona Speculative Fiction Society

Brick Cave Books doesn't so much send Bob Nelson as much as he is the CSPSC organizer, so he will be already there. Having grown BCBooks into a leading Arizona indie publisher, Bob will talk about the tricks and tips he uses to promote his author's titles.
