Capclave 2002
The Washington Science Fiction Association is pleased to announce Capclave 2002. Our last convention was so much fun that we're doing it again.
Capclave 2002 will take place on October 18 - 20, 2002 at the Hilton Silver Spring. We are continuing our focus on science fiction short stories.
If the hotel has told you there are no rooms left, please try again. As of September 26th, we've arranged for a larger room block.
The membership rate is $30 until September 3rd, $35 through October 12th, and then $40 at the door.
Capclave Guests
Capclave Activities
We are modeling this year's convention on last year's Capclave. We will have some more space so will have even more fun. Like last year, we will focus on short stories in science fiction and fantasy. This means we will feature:
Literary discussions with authors
We'll also try to find room for other activities such as gaming, filking, local club meetings, etc. Please send space allocation requests to space@capclave.org.
Capclave Programming
Like last year, Capclave will include innovative programing centered around our theme of short speculative fiction. It will feature our Guest of Honor, Stanley Schmidt, and other notable authors, editors, and fans of the short fiction form exploring short fantasy and science fiction stories.
Capclave is pleased to announce the current list of science fiction writers, editors, and scientists who are confirmed program participants.
More writers and editors have been invited. This list will be updated as more people agree to attend.
