Gallifrey One 2016: Full Schedule

8:00pm PST

The Gallifrey Underground Bon Voyage Party (All Trains Leave On Time)

Gallifrey One 2016 begins a day early with our special pre-convention party and mixer. Join your fellow attendees of all ages at 8pm for a great kick-off ice cream social (with lots of yummy flavors); plus, take advantage of the cash bar on the convention floor which serves both alcoholic beverages and soft drinks. Then, stick around to catch up with old and new friends, or join us next door starting at 9pm in our first full night of karaoke (which runs late!) Open to all full-weekend convention ticketholders as well as those with Friday-only tickets (as we announced during our registration period, Friday one-day badges include Thursday night too!) A great way to meet new friends for adults and kids.

Wilderness Babies: Bringing Younger Fans to Classic Who

There’s a growing generation of fans who were born after Classic Who was already off the air, used to fast-paced episodes, streaming every episode of a show on-demand, and slightly higher quality special effects. This panel will discuss the barriers to getting younger fans into the show, and provide some resources for younger or inexperienced fans on how to find the best of the best.

The Case for Superwholock

Crossovers have been a big part of fandom for years, but there’s one that has really stuck, even bafflingly so: Superwholock, the mashup that brings the three shows Doctor Who, Sherlock and Supernatural together in one giant shared universe, and it’s huge online. Our panel will discuss the reasons why this holy trinity of TV shows is so big on Tumblr and elsewhere: is it the danger? The adventure? The hot, smart guys? What’s the secret?

Teaching Moments: Doctor Who 101

One of the biggest appeals of Doctor Who to families with children is the strong message it sends: to fight without words instead of weapons, to build bridges between strangers, and to look at the universe with an open mind. Our panel will discuss the impact of Doctor Who on children and teenagers, and the life lessons that are learned from the mad man in the box.
