Here’s the schedule for Feral Vector 2016. Day tickets are available from ti.to, and signups for workshops and live games will go out to all ticket holders early next week.

Tea Club:
We tried a new thing with Tea Club last year and will be doing it again: If you have something you’d like to give a talk on, as soon as the main talks programme is done, you can, but you have to serve people tea while you’re doing it. That’s a lot more fun than it sounds, and if you’re new to public speaking, it’s less nerve wracking than getting up on a stage.
