Afternoon classes provide ways to explore fantasy beyond literature. If you want to try something new and exciting, an afternoon class might be just right.

Afternoon classes cover topics related to fantasy literature and the activities of its characters. These tend to be heavily demonstration-based and interactive! You may be required to sign a liability waiver to be in the room during some physical sessions.

Follow this link to find out about the presenters and what they’ll be talking about in these presentations:

Fan Girls: The Art of Fan Language

No Key, No Problem

Sirens Cipher: Building a Secret Conference Code

And one more item that will be offered in the afternoon, just for people who’d like to find out more about how to present in the future, or how to make a presentation proposal stronger:

Creating Proposals and Compendium Submissions for Sirens

If you would like to support both Sirens and our presenters, we invite you to sponsor these (and other) presentations. The cost is $35 per presentation, and we will include your name next to your chosen topic on the accepted programming page. We’ll also list your sponsorship in our program book for this year’s event if we receive your sponsorship by August 21, 2015.
