Have you ever been in the audience for a panel at CONvergence or another convention and found yourself wanting to add more to the discussion? Can you offer geeky passion, fresh ideas, a unique perspective, real-world experiences, or professional expertise to the convention scene?
If you answered yes to any of these, you should sign up to be a panelist at CONvergence 2024: Everyone’s Invited!
Or maybe your special skill is leading a discussion and helping keep everyone on-topic. Ever thought about moderating panels? Moderators are the un-sung heroes of convention programming.
Being part of panels at CONvergence is one of the fastest ways to meet people and network at the convention, plus it is a lot of fun too!
The best CONvergence panel discussions happen when people with different perspectives talk about something they are all passionate about. To that end, we are constantly seeking new and different panelists every year, including panelists whose experiences being part of a marginalized group have informed their passions and perspectives.
Never been on a panel at CONvergence before? No problem!
