StarFest

This panel will explore how we can use nerd culture to build inclusive communities. The hotbed of nerd power has the potential to reach a wide audiences and connect people who are actively working in their communities. Sometimes, however, people do not always feel welcome and included and are instead met by gatekeepers who guard over their domains making it difficult to connect in ways that are inspiring and generate change.  Presented by Hush Comics, this panel will touch on the community its member have created as well as show the audience how we all are one happy, nerdy community.
