Panel Submissions

Panel submission is, sadly, closed.

Submission Process

Are you interested in submitting a panel for On-Con? We'd love to have you, and we do things a little differently. Because YouTube likes to block videos that show copyrighted video content, we stream pre-recorded panels at On-Con.

First, please reach out to brent@geekarchaeology.com with your panel idea. We're looking for any panel that deals directly with anime, manga, and the Japanese otaku industry, particularly those with an analytical or historical focus. Our theme this year is the late 1990's, but your panel does not have to fit into that theme.

We ask that you pre-record a panel of no longer than 60 minutes or so, then send a link to your video file (ideally on Google Drive, Dropbox, or a similar service) to the email address above by midnight Sunday, February 28, 2021. This gives con staff time to review the video, let you know if there are any issues, and hopefully give everyone time to fix them.

Please do not include video or audio clips longer than 3 seconds in your panel, and avoid hard swearing (f-bombs, etc.). Unfortunately, media clips greatly increase the chance that the con's entire stream is taken down, and hard swearing would put the con in a different category on YouTube. You can use still images. We will review your panel to ensure there are no issues.

Note: You will retain full rights to your panel video. We will broadcast your video on our livestream, and it will be available as part of the recorded video of that livestream, but that's our only intended use. You may post and use your video however you want.

Wondering how to record your panel? Check out these pages for screen recording on Windows, screen recording on Mac, and screen recording on Linux.
