PANELS & PRESENTATIONS
How We Define a Panel:
• Regular Panel: 4 people talking of a topic connected to the convention.
• Presentation: 1 to 3 people presenting with visual aids (usually a powerpoint)
• Workshop: 1 to 3 people showing you how to make something. (rare)
• Duration is 50 minutes with a 5 minute grace period, you are responsible for ENDING on time.
NOTE: "Ask a Ninja/pirate/garbagecan/whatever" are NOT considered panels. They fall under Improv events. Handled by the main rooms staff, and booked way in advance,
How do I Participate?
You have to register as a panelist first and be approved. (It's easy! See below.)
What are the Perks?
A half-refunded pass for doing 3 panels, a complete refund for 6, and good karma.
Where do I Sign Up?
First, go to this address:
ganime.anpanels.com
Second, after you sign up, you can either directly submit a panel or brainstorm with fellow panelists here:
ganime.boards.net
How the Process Works [IMPORTANT, DO NOT SKIP]:
1. You propose topics by signing up for them in our panelist database. (You can also discuss them in the forums if you are unsure about your idea or want to refine it)
2. Look for more people to sign up for the same things (in the forum, or anywhere else.) Additional people are not counted as panelists until they also sign up in our panelist database.
3. Once we have enough people signed up for a topic it gets added to the “Approved" list. You will receive an email with contact information for all your fellow panelists so that you can all discuss your panel and prepare for it.
4. We wait for our schedule to fill up with panels.
5. The general schedule of events including panels is outlined. Then the schedule is checked for problems. Then the schedule goes public in its final form. After this, there are no more changes made to the schedule.
6. Pick up your panelist schedule when you sign in at Panelist Registration.
7. Make sure to get your panelist schedule signed by your co-panelists at the end of each panel. These signatures are vital if you want your refund.
8. Turn in your schedule for an immediate refund or to automatically pre-register for next year’s convention (your choice.)
Languages:
We accept projects under the 3 following categories:
• Français
• English
• Bilingual*
*Note: we do not actually hold bilingual panels. This option means that you as a panelist are capable in either Français or English. We will choose one based on the needs of the convention.
Equipment Available:
Panels have one room equipped for digital projection. As such, requests will be considered and access granted by how necessary this equipment is to your panel or presentation.
This room will be equipped with a laptop that has up-to-date capable of running PowerPoint presentations, with at least the latest version of OpenOffice available.
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
IMPORTANT: A version of the presentations must be submitted via Dropbox to the Panel Director within 24 hours of your panel application. We recommend applying for a panel only after you have your presentation finalized. (Or at least a Demo is ready)

All presentation files must be submitted in advance to the Panel Director so that they can be tested and pre-loaded onto the laptop. Submission are taken via DropBox.

To qualify for use of the AV equipment, we will require the following:
• A sample of your presentation (at least a few slides)
• A written description of your presentation (please read over and check your presentation before sending. Poorly written presentations may be rejected.)
• All files above to be submitted via DropBox for easy sharing.
Create a folder with the name of your project (and relevant project files inside it) and then share it to the email fingers(dot)delaurus(AT)ganime.ca . DOING THIS FROM THE WEB INTERFACE OF DROPBOX IS MUCH EASIER.

We provide standard equipment so that all technical aspects of panel presentations run smoothly. No disconnection or physical adjustment of the provided equipment is to be done by panelists. If you need something adjusted or if the equipment isn’t working correctly, please contact a staff member to correct the situation.
