ONGOING SESSIONS
FIBERLAND
A haven for yarn addicts, whether you knit, crochet, or finger-weave. Join the other yarn-a-holics in a comfy, low-key atmosphere, bring your own project to work on or start something new. There will be materials to use on an ongoing basis throughout the conference, as well as scheduled workshops described in the conference program.
MAKERSPACE
Be sure to spend some time in the Makerspace, where you can tinker and build new skills! Learn how to use tools and materials to build and hack projects and get expert advice from mentors on how to dream big and create big at home.
EPIC PLAY SPACE & CRAFT ZONE
This is a giant big-top space for big games, the Construction zone, hooping, giant balls, arts and crafts, and more. Come play with us!
TEEN ROOM
The Teen Room is a space where teens can socialize, connect, and chill. Bring a game, bring a friend, or make a new one!
GAME DECK
Come check out the expanded Game Deck. The game deck has always been a nice spot to get away and relax, but now it is even better. Come play our new cooperative games, or slaughter your friend at chess; participate in a Magic Tournament, or line up dominos and make them fall down; or just enjoy a quiet game. Regardless of what is scheduled, you can still put your feet up and play any game of your choice. Or make up your own game—rules are made to be broken!
LITTLE KIDS PLAY ROOM
The Play Room will entice your child to play for hours and is a great place to make new friends. Adults must accompany children. Open during session hours.
