Schedule

Below, you will find a quick overview of the HippoCamp schedule and format for 2019; this is subject to change. (Also, speakers and sessions will continue to be added throughout March as the program comes together.)

Take note that on the full schedule page, you’ll also see breakout sessions list associated track(s) and suggested experience level at the bottom of the listing preview.

Saturday is the heart of HippoCamp and the longest day. (That’s why we’re feeding you breakfast and lunch!) The day will be filled with breakout sessions — usually four to each time slot. After dinner on your own, we regroup for the evening keynote. On Sunday, the final day of the creative nonfiction conference, we have two breakout sessions in the forming and come together as one group again for flash sessions, then a closing keynote after lunch.

Throughout the conference enjoy:

  • Exhibits: Meet vendors with products and services that fit writers
  • Book sale: Grab a title penned by our keynoters, panelists and other HippoCamp guests
  • Lit swap: Find info about publishing opps, events, and other handouts form your fellow attendees
  • Meals and snacks: We’ll keep you hydrated and feed you well
  • Each other: Informal networking opportunities
