So what Guests-of-Honour will be appearing at the 2013 Steampunk Empire Symposium? We have already announced the return of the Vagabonds with their lively panels and activities (look out for an even bigger Nerf war for April 2013), and we have confirmed that Bethalynne Bajema will be our guest artist with her scary yet sensual approach to steampunk art, but who else will be a special guest of the Symposium?

An array of writers, performers, makers, musicians, airships, historians, cinematographers, and such have already accepted the Symposium’s invitation to participate in next year’s festivities, and in the days to come we shall unveil a new Guest-of-Honour each week. Make certain to check the Symposium aethersite each day for news, updates, and announcements; the Symposium may be eight months away, but we never stop working on ways to make this a better event for you.
