Events at Bucconeer
Kent Bloom, Events Manager The Bucconeer Events team is currentl working on plans for some really great events at the con. We intend to stage the traditional Worldcon events in our own unique way. We also intend to include some things that are a little different from the usual. We think you’ll be happy that you came. At this time, we plan to hold Opening Ceremonie on Wednesday afternoon, August 5th—remember that Bucconeer is being held on different dates this year, so plan to be a day early or you’ll be late.
On Thursday, August 6th, we’re planning to have a preliminary Business Meeting (yes, we’ve declared the Business Meeting to be an Event—you have to be there to appreciate it). On Thursday evening, we’re planning an event (to be named) to introduce Bucconeer’s Guest of Honor, guests, and VIPs to the membership in a more relaxed atmosphere.
On Friday, August 7th, the first regular Business Meeting session will be held. In the afternoon, a Regency Dance will be held. In the evening, we plan to hand out some rockets at the Hugo Awards Ceremony. We’re thinking about themes for a dance to follow. On Saturday, August 8th, the second regular Business Meeting (site selection session) will be held. In the evening, we’re planning a traditional Masquerade. We’re also thinking about finishing off the Masquerade with separate dancing and revelry while we wait for the judges.
Finally, on Sunday, August 9th, the third regular Business Meeting will be held if it’s needed. In the early afternoon, we’ll bring Bucconeer to a finish at the Closing Ceremonies.
Of course, this early in the process all plans are subject to change. So if you think we should do anything differently, or would like to see something we haven’t mentioned, let us know. And i you’d like to volunteer to help out, you can contact us through the Bucconeer address, email events@bucconeer.worldcon.org, or web page.
