Welcome to OryCon 39’s online schedule! The program schedule is a labor of love and a work in progress. Please expect updates, changes, and unexpected delights with little warning!
Diversity in the physical, ethnic, cultural, sexual identity, and socioeconomic backgrounds of characters and writers of speculative fiction has become more important to readers and writers in recent years.

Do we find these books in the SF/F sections or do we need to look to other areas of the bookstore or library?
