Wondering about Oz programming at TeslaCon? The Oz Club will offer a full slate in the Oz Club’s designated break out room; you will be torn between it a half-dozen other break out rooms, the tea room, craft and activities rooms. Since Oz themes will be everywhere, this will be a never-a-dull moment weekend.
Our Club is in a unique position to talk about Oz topics with an audience that is exploring Oz for the first time. So we’re offering Jane Albright’s basic “Introduction to Oz” as well as interactive book discussion panels about The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and The Patchwork Girl of Oz. Club President Ryan Bunch will lead both of those. He’ll also be sharing presentation duties with Te Craft to share “Musical Milestones of Oz.”
We’ll have some very Steampunk-appealing topics, like Atticus Gannaway’s “Balloons, Airships, and Other Ways to Fly Over Fantasy Lands,” Judy Bieber’s “Copper and Tin: The Life and Adventures of Two Metal Men” and Carrie Hedges presentation of Baum’s “electrical fairy tale” The Master Key.
Expect some live music from Jay Thomas, play a round of “Home from Oz” with Joseph South, and create a keepsake in the craft room with Chris Chapman.
In the months ahead, you’ll find details of all our programing here at OzClub.org. And we’ll introduce you to presenters you may not know, like Sean Patrick (The Great Prophecy of Oz, 2026 ) and Chris Glasgow (Curator of the Oz Museum in Wamego, Kansas) as well as experts long associated with the Oz Club such as Nate Barlow, John Bell, Scott Cummings, Ryan Jay, and Dee Michel.
Return to our Oz Club blog regularly in the months ahead; we have weekly blogs planned to cover all manner of details and help you gear up for Oz the National Convention 2026 in the midst of TeslaCon, the largest immersive steampunk convention in North America!
