Special Events
Panels
Want to discuss the latest about Star Trek or Star Wars (and their many incarnations)? Or Battlestar Galactica? Perhaps Doctor Who? Or The Orville? What about favorites from a while ago... Smallville? Alien Nation, Buck Rogers, Farscape, or others? Maybe you'd like to find out more information about 3D printing, it's uses and future. Or share costuming ideas and trends? Want to find out more about making fan films/indie productions?
If you're an aspiring writer, attend one of our panels conducted by some of our guest authors. Discuss methods of writing, anthologies, selling your ideas and (of course) what they have coming up!
Have an idea for a panel you'd like to put together? Let us know!
Meet the Pros Party
Our annual Meet the Pros author meet-and-greet takes place at 10pm on Friday, July 12. As usual, this year's event will include the premiere of several new books by our guests. Please come to meet the guests, chat, and get a few books signed.
Lee's Place (karaoke)
Do you miss all the fun times at Vic's Fontaine's Place? Sure, it was just a holosuite, but there was always something going on. Now you can be part of it all. Sing and dance the night away at the Vic's Place karaoke at it's new location in the Cinnamon Tree Restaurant on Friday evening.
Game Room
The Shore Leave Game Room will be offering different games for the Con Goers to play, everything from CCGs (Collector Card games, such as Magic the Gathering and the Warhammer CCG), RPGs (Role-Play games, such as Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Mechwarrior), Miniature Wargames (such as Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40,000, BattleTech, Kings of War, Dreadball, Warmachines, and Hordes just to name a few), Clicky Base games (such as Heroclix, Star Trek Heroclix, and Mechwarrior Heroclix), and even some board games. We will also have demoing by reps from various gaming companies such as Mantic Games, Final Sword Productions, and others. (More Information)
Ten-Forward
The Ten Forward party takes its name from the Ten-Forward area on the Enterprise D. It's our Saturday evening party, with music and dancing. It takes place in the Hunt Ballroom immediately after Masquerade ends. (Generally sometime between 11:00 and 11:30, depending on the number of masquerade entries.) Join us as we dance the night away.
