The ACT Matrix at ACBS Worldcon 2021
Here is how the matrix will show up next month.
The 2021 ACBS Worldcon is only weeks away! Like last year it will take place entirely online, but this time the bulk of the presentations will be in Central European Time. I’ll be in attendance, and you can catch me on a panel discussing what we’d like to see ACBS do better (My submission for a workshop on the matrix was rejected).
The program for the conference is out and you can access it here.
I took a look through the program and searched for any presentation that includes the ACT Matrix. It turns out eight presentations at this years worldcon will directly reference or feature the ACT Matrix.
Here they are in case you want to do your own “Matrix Track” of the conference.
