Programme

We're having science program, panels, speeches, art exhibitions. You can go to a workshop, join games or competitions, party all night at the masquerade and check out the sales tables. On Friday you can't miss the Nordic table hockey competition, FinnCon Kampen. On Thursday our scifi researchers meeting will start as well.

We're having several program tracks, and at least one of them will be in English at all times.
