The organizer describes Capclave as a small, relaxed literary convention.
It suits readers and writers of short science fiction and fantasy who want close contact with authors, since the program centered on author discussions and readings and the guests of honor were billed as Nino Cipri and Rebecca Roanhorse. Professionals hoping for large-scale industry networking or a big publisher presence will get less from it, because it is described as a small, relaxed convention built around the short fiction form.
