The 18th Annual PantheaCon will be held Feb. 17 – 20, 2012 (President’s Day Weekend) at the Doubletree Hotel in San Jose, CA
PantheaCon has grown significantly over the years. In consequence, some attendees have had difficulty getting into presentations. In some cases, there simply aren’t enough rooms of sufficient size to accommodate everyone who would like to attend every presentation. In others, presenters are providing materials and can only bring enough for a limited number of attendees. We’ve also heard some concerns about disorganized lines and related issues. To help alleviate some of these problems and to ensure that everyone has equal access to presentations, we are implementing Event Seating for PantheaCon 2012. This completely free service will allow help everyone know whether they will be able to attend some presentations that may be completely full without necessarily having to wait in line for a significant amount of time before a presentation.
Every year, we have a small number of cancellations between the release of our Schedule of Events and the start of Con. We encourage everyone to take a look at the most recent version of the schedule before leaving for PantheaCon. If you’ve already created your own schedule, any events you’ve selected that have been cancelled will be shown struck-through when you visit the Personal Schedule tool.
To help navigate the more than 200 events we have on our 2012 schedule, we’ve also created a track listing! Here’s the current list of tracks we’ve identified: 101, Concerts, Discussion, Divination, Family, Female-Deity-Focused, Green/Eco-friendly, Hands-on, LGBTQ, Meditation, Movement, Music, Performance, Ritual, Singing, African Diaspora, Asatru, Celtic/Druid, Ceremonial, Egyptian, Greek, and Wicca.

Finally, we want to remind everyone that Sunday is the last day to pre-register for PantheaCon 2012 before the cost to register increases. One more day!
There’s one week left to get the lower pre-registration rate before prices increase! For those of you who are still deciding, we encourage you to browse the Schedule of Events – we’re probably biased, but we think there’s something of interest for almost everyone. We wanted to take this opportunity to note that rooms are available at the following overflow hotels served by the PantheaCon shuttle:
