**Programming - Regular events**

Mostly from the current ICON Manifesto:

ICON schedules one or more tracks of programming relating to the science fiction and fantasy genres. The following programming items and events are the minimum that must take place at every ICON and common times for them:
  

	* Opening ceremonies 7 PM Friday
	* Art show - Fri 3-6 PM, Sat 9 AM - 5 PM, Sun 10 AM - Noon
	* Art Auction - Sat 6 PM
	* Vendor area - Fri 4-7 PM, Sat 10 AM - 6 PM, Sun 10 AM - 2 PM

	* Mindbridge membership meeting Sun Noon, closed MB Supercommittee Meeting Sun 11 AM
	* Hospitality suite Fri 9 PM - 2 AM, Sat 8 AM - 2 AM, Sun 8 AM - 2 PM
	* A suitable number of panel discussions, readings, or presentations to satisfy the needs and obligations of professional attendees 


ICON should contain more items than the minimum. The specific items are at the discretion of the project executives, but the following events or items are traditional and should not be excluded without good reason:
