We are now accepting submissions for Fan Panels for Fandom PDX 2020. Part of a fan group or want to be considered for Featured Talent/a Guest? Please read this: https://fandompdx.com/2020featuredtalent/
Fandom PDX is a celebration of fandom, and an integral part of that experience is FAN PANELS presented by attendees of our event. Do you want to showcase your favorite facet of cosplay, anime, video games, sci-fi, fantasy, or something else? Fill out our application and let us know!
Fandom PDX is a celebration of pop culture that offers programming for a wide variety of topics including anime, cartoons, comic books, cosplay, fantasy, gaming, music, science fiction, theme parks, video games, and more! Thus, we always open the door for potential panelists each year to present during the event.
We do, though, have a few rules for panels at the convention. Please read these completely before filling out your panel form.
1. ONLY ONE PANEL PER PERSON/GROUP. We want to present a variety of perspectives regarding geek culture and – while we appreciate you hosting a panel – we want to make sure you have the time to enjoy the rest of the convention!
2. ALL PANEL HOSTS MUST BE PAID ATTENDEES OF THE CONVENTION. We don’t offer comp passes for single panel presentations. And we don’t allow more than one panel per person/group. (You can see where we’re going with this.) If you are interested in appearing as a fan group and hosting programming, email us at contact@fandompdx.com. (Space is limited.)
3, PANEL CONTENT MUST BE APPROPRIATE TO THE THEME OF THE CONVENTION – GEEK CULTURE. A panel about physics wouldn’t really work. A panel about the physics in the Star Trek universe would absolutely work. A panel about the physics in the Stargate universe would make Joey Snackpants a happy camper.
4. ALL PANELS MUST NOT EXCEED A PG-13 RATING. Fandom PDX is a convention designed to feature content for all ages. While we may offer some 18+ events, they are tightly regulated and offered late in the evening. (If you are interested in offering 18+ programming, please contact us directly: contact@fandompdx.com)
5. SCHEDULING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON THE NEEDS OF FANDOM PDX. We will do our best to work with you on scheduling the panel in a time slot that works best for everyone involved. If, for unforeseen reasons, we need to change when your panel is scheduled, we will let you know in advance.
6. PLEASE SPECIFY YOUR A/V NEEDS.Can you do your panel without a projector and screen, or is it required? Let us know.
Thanks for wanting to be a part of Fandom PDX.
