Other Panel Length *

Why do you need the extra time? *

Panels longer than 60 minutes are allowed, but discouraged unless you really need the extra time.

To be shown on the public facing schedule. 200 words max. Leave blank if this is the same as the Panel Description.

Panel Noise Level *

Is it okay to record your panel? *

While we don't record every panel, we attempt to record and post most panels to our YouTube channel after the event.

Is it okay to livestream your panel? *

If you answered Yes to being livestreamed, please ensure that you're not presenting anything that could be considered copyright infringement.

Panel Content *

Please select the checkboxes above to let us know what your panel content may contain, or select "None" if you are sure your panel will be for all ages.

MAGScouts guides younger attendees and their adults to age-appropriate content at MAGFest events.

Marking your content as “MAGScouts-approved” means that demographic will be encouraged to attend, and that your content will be presented in a manner that is appropriate for all audiences.

This doesn't mean your content has to be "for kids" only, just that it should be accessible and inoffensive to younger attendees!

Do you want your content to be highlighted by the MAGScouts program? *

Additional Information

Would your panel benefit from a different setup from our normal panel rooms - for instance, an open space or tables for people to work on? *

Does your event require attendees to pay an upfront cost of materials for hands-on activities? *

Describe your table needs *

Our ability to reconfigure main panel rooms is very limited, but we have some alternative spaces that might be better suited for specific needs.

Describe your material costs *

Please describe what materials you'll be providing and how much you'll need to charge attendees to participate.

Technical Needs *

By default, each panel room will have a table with four microphones, power for a laptop, and connections for 1/8" audio and HDMI video. VGA support will not be available. If you need anything beyond this please describe it here. Our techops department (techops@magfest.org) will reach out to you directly for details.

Do you have any group or website affiliations? *

What are they? *

Have you held this panel before? *

Where and how many people attended? *

When are you NOT available? *

I verify I am available at any time during the event EXCEPT for the times listed above. *

Is there anything else you would like to provide regarding your submission? *

This can include information not for public consumption, but merely things the event needs to know.
