Showcases and Workshops

We come for the poetry right? But competition is competition, and fun is fun.

So, as is tradition, let’s play for a while without the scores. While we’re at it, let’s learn a few things and teach a few things.

Ya’ll know what you want, what you like best. I want to honor that. We have come up with a list of potential side events and workshops, but this list is by no means the end all be all of what’s goin’ down at NPS 2010. We absolutely welcome your input as to which events would be (and have been) the most fun, powerful, effective – what has reached the unconverted? Let’s hook a few more passerbys.

Also, if you are interested in organizing, hosting, putting on a side event, let us know.

We want to share these events with the whole Slam family, not just our locals.
