panels

Panels are short presentations, performances, or activities led by speakers. We try to include a variety of panelists at UChi-Con, especially teachers who are familiar with Japanese and animation cultures. Panels are generally around an hour each, during which audience members are free to come and go. They run from 10AM to 5PM. UChi-Con participants are welcome to come to as many or as few panels as desired. Our recommendation is to check which panels are happening when at the beginning of the day and to plan other events (gaming, karaoke, browsing the artists alley, etc.) around them.

If you are a student/faculty member/RSO group at the University of Chicago interested in having a panel, or if you have presented before at a previous UChi-Con, please feel free to contact us via email (ucjas@uchi-con.com) ahead of time.

This year, panelists and performers who are accepted will be given a complementary badge for each individual in the group.
