The Eugie Award Symposium for Speculative Fiction brings together science fiction, fantasy, and horror authors, editors, and scholars from around the world. The Eugie Foster Memorial Award for Short Fiction (or Eugie Award), honors stories that are beautiful, thoughtful, passionate, and that change both individual readers and the field of speculative fiction as a whole. This annual award is presented at Dragon Con, the nation’s largest fan-run convention.

The first roundtable will be led by Georgia Tech professor and current Eugie juror Dr. Amanda Weiss as she discusses the past, present, and future of speculative fiction with authors Thoraiya Dyer, Siobhan Carroll, L Chan, Andy Dudak, and Jerome Steuart.
