Preliminary Program Grid for Shahid Mahmud

This is the Preliminary program schedule. Shahid Mahmud may or may not actually be on these items, but probably will. However, due to circumstances beyond our control, modifications to the program can occur throughout the convention.

Friday 5:00 pm: The Future of Cinema (Ends at: 5:55 pm) Monroe
Participants:David Bartell, Randee Dawn (M), Shahid Mahmud, Sherin Nicole
Movie theaters are struggling. There are new release models, which include direct to streaming. The studios seem to prefer to retread old stories rather than break new ground. What stories are in the works to break those models? Is there a way to save the theater experience? Is there anything worth going to see in the next few months?
Friday 6:00 pm: What Is a Small Press? (Ends at: 6:55 pm) Washington Theater
Participants:Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Shahid Mahmud, Adeena Mignogna, Joshua Benjamin Palmatier (M), Ian Randal Strock
As Capclave and WSFA continue to honor short fiction in small presses, does the current definition need to be updated to fit different models? Is the number of publications a good fit? How do you fit in author collectives?
Saturday 12:00 pm: The Future of Currency (Ends at: 12:55 pm) Jackson
Participants:Elektra Hammond, Shahid Mahmud, Jennifer R. Povey (M), Ian Randal Strock
Money makes the world go round. A discussion of the future of currency from cold hard cash to electronic options. What are the benefits of each? How does it affect transactions and taxation? Will paper money go back to being backed by precious metals rather than the full faith and credit? 
Sunday 12:00 pm: This Was the End (Ends at: 12:55 pm) Monroe
Participants:Scott Edelman, Shahid Mahmud, Alex Shvartsman, Ian Randal Strock
*Former* editors/publishers of SFF magazines that were forced to shut down talk about what went wrong, what they learned, and what could be done better.
