EVE Fanfest, which starts on Thursday the 19th March 2015, will be one of the biggest Fanfests ever only being outstripped by the ‘Second Decade’ Fanfest. With so much going on and so much to do I am sure it will be an amazing experience and I am slightly jealous of those who are going to be there. I keep telling myself that I will definitely go the next year, but so far have never followed through.
However, for those left behind like myself, CCP Falcon released the official stream schedule for EVE TV Fanfest earlier today;
We are happy to announce that the schedule for the EVE TV Fanfest 2015 Live Stream is now available!
You can view the stream schedule on our twitch page, and see an overview of it below.
Also, remember that the HD Stream of Fanfest 2015 is free for everyone this year, as we’d like as many of our players as possible to enjoy the Fanfest celebrations!

In a change to the normal schedule the Eve Online Keynote has been moved from the main event of the final day to 1700 on the first day of the event. CCP Falcon explained the thinking behind the change in this Dev Blog;
The EVE Online Keynote will follow at 5pm on Thursday and it will cover all EVE Online related topics including a bit of a recap, upcoming features, future vision and the CSM election results. Having the keynote earlier than previous years will hopefully reduce the amount of times a dev tells you that you have to wait till the Keynote to be able to talk about something.
This sounds like a great thing, it means the devs holding panels and round-table will be able to talk freely about what they are doing within the game without accidentally letting something slip which was meant for the Keynote. I like the thinking around it and will be watching with great interest.
If you are going to be at this years Fanfest don’t forget the Solar Eclipse, which happens at around 0930 on Friday 20th Mach 2015.
I am personally looking forward to the Worlds Collide Tournament, ‘Future Vision of Structures’ and ‘The Future of Spaceship Rendering’ segments along with the community created parts, which are a first for Fanfest and EVE TV and will make the whole event much more interactive.
