How to Sign Up For Panels

[Emony]

If you're looking to sign up for panels, please register at anpanels.com and submit your ideas there.

A few tips:

1. Use our Discord or these here Forums to look for fellow panelists!

2. Your panel description should be around 250 characters, max 300. We have to restrict length to print in the guidebook, and because it's easier for a reader to digest more concise entries.

3. Make a few notes for your panel so you have some go-to subjects, but don't go overboard. A panel that is too rigid and controlled can prove no-fun-absolutely for both panelists and attendees alike.

4. Use your own social media feelers like Twitter and Facebook to find friends and co-panelists. Just remember, everyone has to sign up or we don't have you in our database and cannot consider you a panelist.

5. Read this thread for fuller details.

If I'm making a game show, what would that be under? Presentation? Do I still need 3-4 people?

There is a gameshow category, but gameshows need to be pre-approved by that department before you sign up (this department is only for panels, presentations, and workshops).

Whereabouts is the gameshow category on these forums?

Its not actually om the forums, from what I see. Email the game show department - the department emails are here: www.animenorth.com/event/index.php/about/contact-us

I wasn't sure where to ask this, and I don't want to start a panic. But I have a genuine concern if there is going to be a contingency plan for North this year considering the covid-19 cases increasing.

Or is it still too early for this discussion? I'm just asking cause I've seen some conventions, not just anime, cancelling their events.

But does there exist the possibility that aspects of the con may be... reduced? Are people already anticipating a drop in attendance not just in panels but overall? Also what about special guest appearances?

I'm hoping that by May there's going to bepositive breakthroughs,and I'm sure I'm not the only one still working on cosplays and panel discussions regardless. Life goes on. Just curious if others have been thinking about the 'what if' situations.

I've just asked. I live pretty close to the con, so I'll go unless its cancelled.
