At MidSouthCon we really take pride in our programming. We have an average of over 120 hours of programming in multiple tracks during the Con (and that's not counting the Video Room, Anime Room or gaming tracks). This year we are expanding our programming and will have more tracks than ever before.

Panels Presentations and Workshops

We will have panels or presentations on Science, Education, Space, Gaming, Fandom, Comics, Anime, Costuming, Movies, SCA, Art, Writing, and much more. We will post specifics as we get closer to the convention. If you have an idea for a panel that you would like to see at MidSouthCon, send your suggestion to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Video Room

MidSouthCon's video room starts showing films early on Friday and runs 24 hours a day until late Sunday afternoon.

We show a fun mix of science fiction, fantasy, and other genre features, along with shorts, and other interesting stuff. And of course we have the traditional midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
