Chicon8--World Science Fiction Convention 2022, or "How I (am going to spend) My Summer Vacation"

Image
Woot! I'm finally going back to an in-person #Worldcon, and very much looking forward to seeing friends and fans once again at #Chicon8. I haven't visited Chicago since Chicon7 ten years ago, so it will be good to be back. I have my Program Participant Schedule, and these panels should be entertaining (and informative)!
