We will be opening up panel submissions very shortly. If you have a panel you want to submit for this year's convention, you can prepare yourself for the submission process by registering on our website as a user, this will get you ready to submit through our system when it opens up. Also, make sure you have a good description of your panel you want to run. We receive a lot of panel submissions and sometimes the only way we can pick which ones make the schedule is by how well the description is written and the context of the panel.

Panelist rewards
Our convention would not be a success without panels submitted by our fans. Fan based programming helps build diversity in our programming and also helps build excitement in the community. Because we value our panelist so much, anyone who is chosen to run a panel is given a full day(s) pass for the day(s) of their panel(s). If you have 3 or more panels chosen you will receive a full event pass for the convention.
Panelist badge rewards are only given to the first 4 panelists for any given panel. This helps control how many badges are given out and stops groups from bringing in high amounts of panelists to just get a badge for the convention. To help manage this, we will capture the names of the panelists when you submit your panel so we can help get everyone their proper badges for the convention and alleviate any confusion prior to the convention.
