Now, it's true that there is a long tradition in fandom of hoax bids/newsletters/etc, but I was handed this flyer at registration along with the program guide and souvenir book; later, when [livejournal.com profile] yuki_onna asked [livejournal.com profile] ericmvan if readings would be part of the main track or not, his response wasn't "oh, that's a hoax flyer" but rather "well, there might be a partial readings track" (IIRC).
