Join us the Sunday before Game of Thrones begins its final season for a day of talks, panels, screenings, quiz and more celebrating the cultural legacy of a series that has defined event television for almost a decade. The conference will be a space for fans, writers and experts to convene in mutual celebration and speculation; a great way of getting ready for the final visit to Westeros.

The day will be divided into two sessions, a DAYTIME TALKS (doors from 11am) session containing short lectures from academics and a variety of panel discussions and debates on key topics from the show (speaker details TBC), along with an annotated panel screening of key moments from the series to date. Here are the current panels:

– Is Game of Thrones a feminist show?

– Game of Thrones: Quality TV or swords and sandals soap opera?

– Who should sit on the Iron Throne? And who will?

– Annotated screening of key moments from the show

The second session is the EVENING QUIZ (doors from 6pm), a fiendishly difficult, winner-takes-all quiz challenging your Game of Thrones knowledge (TV only, I'm afraid) along with themed cocktails and a great atmosphere!

FAQs

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

The Book Club is a working bar/nightclub so 18+ only for the evening session.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Sadly not, as it's in a basement. We are working to improve this for future events, I'm sorry.

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

Old Street is the nearest tube but there are a number of stops within walking distances. Driving a car never advised in London!

What can I bring into the event?

All the stuff you'd expect. Replica swords must have blunted ends.

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

Try nick[@]podotpods.com for any enquiries.

What's the refund policy?

If you can give as much notice as possible that'd be great. Will be issuing refunds up to 24-hours before the event.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Nope.

Is my registration fee or ticket transferrable?

Sure, just let me know by email.
