We also have panels discussing vidding- that can be very broad! This year we had one where people compared their first vids with their most recent vids, and it was super interesting.

The collections are for premiers-new vids made especially for the con. This year we had one open premiere (so vids on any topic, mine was a Spike from Buffy vid) and one on the topic 'Unfinished Business' (mine was about a high speed rail infrastructure project).

So other vid shown during the con aren't added to the collections, but all the vids shows are listed in the programme so people can find individual vids again.

I'm also in the process of writing up my vidshow with all the vids and links, so for mine at least, you can see the whole show and how your lovely vid fitted in with the rest of them.
