Pantheacon, the Bay Area’s annual Pagan conference, will be this coming February 15^th – 18^th, 2013.  This coming year’s event has seen several policy and procedure changes that have evoked a range of opinions and positions from those who are Pantheacon supporters.  While some are happy about the changes and others are upset, the shifts in process have brought about many questions from those planning to attend.

Some of Pantheacon’s procedure changes have included the booking of hotel rooms, now run by the Pantheacon staff instead of the hotel, and two different deadline dates for those who are submitting proposals to present workshops and rituals.

Since the Bay Area holds this large convention, one of the largest Pagan festivals or conventions in the United States, Pagan Newswire Collective Bay Area will work to keep readers apprised of upcoming deadlines and dates for Pantheacon.

There are three deadlines approaching fast for the month of October.  According to the newest email from Glenn Turner, Pantheacon’s organizer and the owner of Ancient Ways, these are the three upcoming dates she listed in the newsletter.

Oct. 15 – Programming application – Second round and Final deadline
Oct. 19 to 25 - Lottery sign up for Double Tree hotel rooms will be open from October 19 to 25. The Double Tree Room Lottery allocation system allows more fair access to rooms at PantheaCon 2013.
Oct. 15 – Deadline for Vending which has a downloadable mail-in application form.
