Academic Convention: April 5th-9th

For those of you who were around last year, you'll remember that we had a Villain Covention come to town.
This year? We'll be having something a little different.
April 5th - 9th Fandom will be hosting a convention for academic type characters to come to our little island and enjoy our hospitality. And when I say academics I mean characters along the lines of:
Indiana Jones
Henry Jones Sr.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce
Flynn Carsen
(And pretty much any interesting character you think might fit the mold.)
As a result of some academic tinkering it will result in a island wide event which will involve some fighting. For those people who do not wish to be involved in a brawl of somewhat interesting proportions an alternative entertaining activity will be provided.
I will be putting up an application post with screened comments for people to apply their academic characters. These characters have the option of giving a lecture for the conference or just attending to hear what people have to say.
The deadline for these applications is March 31st. (And I'm not changing it this time!)
Thank you for your attention. I now return you to "Anders and Wyatt: A love story in progress (even though they continue to deny it)"
ETA: In case you need any inspiration:
