Welcome to Renovation! Renovation THE 69TH WORLD SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION Because the Convention Guide had to go to press prior to the convention, some late changes were not included. Look for the “pink sheets” of program changes at the convention, both when you register and as the convention progresses. Program changes may be announced in the newsletter as well. You can see the most current program online at www.RenovationSF.org, or through our mobile app, available at the same site. Note: The Sunday grid is on the back of the Thursday evening schedule, to allow Friday and Saturday to each fit on a single sheet, for those of you who like to take one day at a time (as it were).
