Using this page to search the Orycon Program

Using the criteria at left should be fairly intuitive. You may choose any number of panelists or any range of starting times, but you may only select "all" or a specific day.

You may select multiple panelists or start times by holding the Control key while left-clicking. Select a range by left-clicking on a start point, moving to an end point, and holding down the Shift key while left-clicking that end point.

Selecting multiple panelists or multiple times is a logical "or" operation. That is, if you choose the two panelists John Doe and Barack Obama, you are not asking to see all panels that feature both Barack and John. Rather, you are asking to see all panels that feature Barack or John.

Selecting anything other than any or all in more than one category is an and operation. For example, if you select the panelists John Doe and Barack Obama, and the times between 11am and 3pm, you will be shown all the panels that either John or Barack are in and are scheduled to start between 11am and 3pm.

If you check the box to include panel descriptions, the panel name will appear in quotation marks and the description follow it -- when there is one. Many panels don't have particularly flowery descriptions, and some have no additional description at all.

Selecting Any panelist, any start time, and all days will display the entire OryCon 31 program.
