As a part of its 10th anniversary celebration, EagleCon is launching the first annual Speculative Fiction Across Media (SFAM LA) conference. This event will bring together creators from the entertainment industries of Los Angeles with scholars from around the world to discuss and explore the history and current state of diversity in speculative genres. On Oct. 18 and Oct. 19, there will be one stream of entertainment industry panels and one stream of scholarly presentations in one-hour blocks that match the university class schedule. On Oct 20, there will be one stream of industry panels and three streams of scholarly presentations in blocks of one hour and fifteen minutes. The event as a whole will provide unique opportunities for scholars to interact with artists and creators who have worked on such properties as Star Trek, True Blood, The Walking Dead, Star Wars, Lucifer, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and many more.
Wednesday and Thursday are free for everyone. Friday is free to all students and faculty members from any high school, college, or university, as well as to all members of the Cal State LA and UC Riverside communities and members of the Art Directors Guild.
