I have yet to see the schedule up before 1 week previous to the con. Check the individual tracks, though; a lot of them have their schedules drafted already.
Yep! The earliest I have ever seen a program schedule up has been two weeks out. I love that this is a way for us planners to get a preview of what to do... It just kills me that I have to wait on the schedule. I do also go to individual fan sites here at D*C if provided and scope out what their temporary schedules look like. Keep in mind, it is a little early, but they will update thier sites as it gets closer to the con.
I always have a plan A and a plan B for things I want to see just in case one moves to another time or there are two at one time I wanna see.
It's too early for a program of the entire convention, but several tracks have posted tentative schedules on their websites. I recommend looking at the fan tracks (http://dragoncon.org/fan_tracks.php) and just clicking on the links. :) Some tracks don't have websites, though, and some websites don't have schedules up- I do know that BritTrack and TrekTrak have posted them. I hope that helps!
Actually, one of the D*C Twitter feeds proclaimed that the official schedule would be out today. So, where is it? Why is it so hard to find a page on the official website that says "get your program here" and "this is the page where we will eventually post the schedule for you to download, so bookmark it and come back later"?
Last year I only found the schedule posted here, in the LJ, but nowhere on the website, and even the individual fan track websites didn't all have their schedules posted - some did, but most didn't even up until the first day of con.
We actually don't really look at it till we are on the flight there... it's become our tradition. We print out 2 copies each, take the highlighters and have at it. When we get it all set, we make a clean copy for ourselves. We're usually so busy right up till the flight we can't do it justice ahead of time...
This year, I'm going to try to put it on my BlackJack II as a doc... still figuring that out... if anyone has any ideas about that, I'll be happy to have them!
Like everyone else, I'm waiting, I'm also very much anticipating. I'm wondering there will be anything Clockwork related now Mr. McDowell is in the brochure. What will we all have to sacrifice eh : D
