Online Panelist Application

All-Con screens all panelist applications. Not every application is accepted. Once your application is submitted, you will be notified within 4-6 weeks whether or not your panel has been approved. All-Con may, at our own discretion require the submission of additional information such as a panel outline for content.


 Panelist Badges

Panelists must purchase a badge good for at least the day(s) they will be presenting. (Panelists who already have badges such as vendors, exhibitors, previously earned volunteer badges, etc. need not buy another.) Discount codes for online badge purchases will be provided via email when panels are approved. For 2-5 panel hours the discount code will be worth $10 off. 6+ panel hours will receive $15 off.

Panelists without confimed badges after February 25th may have their panels changed to "unconfirmed" status with the possibility of losing their room and / or time to confirmed panel content.


 Panelist Agreement

This application is for organizers to propose the conducting of discussion panels, workshops, events, demonstrations, competitions, and performances at All-Con. To qualify, applicants and their co-presenters must agree to and be bound by the following points:
