Pity this person wasn't one

I went to look at the national SF and Fantasy convention's site, only to find this in the first paragraph:
With a heavy emphasis on Steam Punk and Cosplay, the Convention never the less caiter's for the professional writers of Science Fiction.

Dude.

And I'll now vent about the highly paid new marketing person at work who puts apostrophes in all her plurals. All of them. So far I'm biting my tongue but I'm going to have to tell her at some point that I'll have to proof-read anything she wants to send outside the office. I'm just not sure how to go about that.

At least she's not doing it to verbs - so far.

It seems very unlikely to me that a convention would be a nightmare to an introvert. It might be boring, but nobody is going to stop you from sitting at the back and being quiet and just absorbing what is going on. The only thing that's likely to be difficult in that regard is finding a quiet spot to unwind. That depends a great deal on the design of the convention hotel; some hotels do have nice quiet spots where you can sit, others don't. That's one reason why I tend to book into the convention hotel even if the convention is in the same city as I live - it means I have a spot to collapse when I feel exhausted.

Is there any way you can find out what is likely to be on the programme?
