Past MSCs

MidSouthCon Programing

At MidSouthCon we really take pride in our programing. We have an average of over 120 hours of programing in multiple tracks during the Con (and that's not counting the Video Room, Anime Room or gaming tracks). This year we are expanding our programing and will have more tracks than ever before.

Panels Presentations and Workshops

We will have panels or presentations on Science, Education, Space, Gaming, Fandom, Comics, Anime, Costuming, Movies, SCA, Art, Writing, and much more. We will post specifics as we get closer to the convention. If you have an idea for a panel that you would like to see at MidSouthCon, send your sugestion to programing@midsouthcon.org

Educational Seminar

Once again MSC will hold a free mini-conference on education for Teachers Librarians and other interested scholars.

Anime

We will have a 24 hour a day Anime Video Room, and are planning some very intersting panels and events (including a dubbing workshop).

Masquerade

Always a staple of MidSouthCon's programming, our judged costume contest has expanded and improved.

Midnight Dance Party

Once again we will have a Saturday Night Midnight Dance Party.

Filking

Once again we will have concerts and open filking -- come join in Fandom's own unique take on music.

Video Room

MidSouthCon's video room starts showing films early on Friday and runs 24 hours a day until late Sunday afternoon.

We show a fun mix of science fiction, fantasy, and other genre features, along with shorts, and other interesting stuff. And of course we have the traditional midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

If you have any requests or questions about our video room please feel free to contact us at: video@midsouthcon.org

Kaffeeklatsches

Join the guests for our traditional Sunday Kaffeeklatsches (space is very limited, so sign up early).

The Darrell Awards

These Awards are sponsored by the Mid-South Science Fiction & Fantasy Association (MSSFFA) to promote literacy in the Mid-South by recognizing the best published local science fiction, fantasy, and horror. For more information check out the Darrell Awards home site.

Guests Banquet

Have dinner with our guests at an all you can eat buffet in the hotel banquet hall on Saturday.

Charity Auction

MidSouthCon's annual Charity Auction Benefiting SFWA Emergency Medical Fund and other good causes.

Signings

No Convention would be complete without autograph sessions with the attending guests, and we will have them scheduled at various times throughout the Con.

Children's Programing

The Children's Programing at midsouthcon has been a great success, and once again we will have a dedicated Children's Program Room, with lots of neat stuff for children to do. (Note: Cheldrin must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.)
