HOST A PANEL
Looking to host a panel or workshop at animecon? The show strives to bring you the best content from the industry and from the animecon community, and we are proud of the amazing guest line-up we have put together for the nec show.
We welcome everyone to be part of the show’s exciting and diverse industry / community programme! For more information on how to participate with your own panel and guests, please fill out the form below.
Panels:
A ‘Panel’ type event that’s hosted by attendees is typically a presentation or discussion between the host and audience. For instance, many attendee panellists enjoy hosting their panels while in cosplay, often roleplaying their character while they interact with the crowd.
Industry panel events often introduce or announce information about their upcoming projects, as well as feature Q&A sessions with the creative staff and/or voice actors.
Workshops:
A ‘Workshop’ type event is focused on teaching the audience something. For example, create props for cosplay, and various techniques for art creations. Workshop-specific rooms include tables for attendees to sit and engage. We encourage attendees to come and share their knowledge with others!
Industry panel events often introduce or announce information about their upcoming projects, as well as feature Q&A sessions with the creative staff and/or voice actors.
