Sinpozium is a Sydney slash gathering that's been held four times previously (2000-2002, 2005), has been on extended hiatus, and is making a comeback in 2011. It is a fan-run, not-for-profit weekend-long party.
We are currently planning Sinpozium 2011 - please fill out this poll to help us determine possible attendance numbers. Currently, we are planning for a maximum of 55 people attending.
The proposed date for the next Sinpozium is Saturday 11th to Sunday 12th June 2011 (Queen's Birthday long weekend for all Australian states except WA). Stay for the whole weekend, or come and go as convenient. Registration will open in February 2011 (to be confirmed).
We aim to keep Sinpozium as inexpensive as possible. We cannot confirm the final price at this time, but currently estimate registration will cost about $50 for the weekend.
Sinpozium started as a giant slash slumber party, and what happens at it is up to those who attend. Everyone should be able to participate as much as they want, whether that's giving a talk, pimping a fandom, leading a discussion, taking part in games, sharing vids or just hanging out and having a good time. Activities will include discussions, fandom pimping, games, vid watching and more.
If you wish to bring along fandom-related items to sell/trade, no additional registration fee applies, though space may be limited.
For more information or if you have any questions, checkout the Sinpozium livejournal community, dreamwidth community or discussion list (or subscribe via email), or contact the organisers.
Hopefully we'll see you there!
