Notice to prospective Balticon program participants:

In an effort to provide literary and fan program track participants with fuller schedules, we will be extending a reduced number of participant invitations for those tracks in 2012. Invitations will continue going out through the end of 2011. If you want to make sure you're on head of the list, please drop a note to Literary with your full name to remind us that you will be available.

See the "Who's Coming" page for more information.
