Community Panelist

Arrival, Setup, Timing

It is crucial for panels to start and end on time. If your panel starts late, it still ends on time.
Arrive to your Panel Room at least 15 minutes in advance of your start time to ensure a smooth setup and tech check.
As soon as the panel before yours concludes, you may begin setting up for your Panel.
There is a minimum of 30 minutes in between each panel. This provides ample time to set up your presentation, do a quick tech check, and start your panel on time.

All panel rooms come equipped with a minimum of 3 mics for panelists, in-house sound, and a projection system.
As a best practice, it is recommended to bring your own laptop.
For all presentations, please have items accessible via flash drive or downloaded onto your laptop with necessary HDMI cables on-hand to connect to the projector.
Strong internet connections are not guaranteed, and we encourage all presentations to be done without needing Wi-Fi.
If you have any tech issues, please identify a crew member or AV technician in the room/area.

All panelists need a badge for entry to the event. If you are participating in/hosting a Community Panel, there is not a separate badge needed for panelists. Please ensure all your panelists have a badge to the day of the event that the panel takes place.
Panelist Badge Pickup will be at Will Call located in [WILL CALL INFORMATION NEEDED].
If arriving on the day of your panel, it is highly recommended that you arrive at least 1 hour early or more to ensure enough time to pick up badges and locate your panel room.

Please note all panels presented at MagicCon may be photographed, recorded, and/or streamed by Event Management but it is not guaranteed.
