2027 Fan Panel Application
Fan panels are a core element of our programming each year at Naka-Kon and we always appreciate the support from those who wish to host a fan panel.
For your panel submission to be eligible, you must submit your panel application no later than 11:59 p.m. CT on January 4, 2027. The main content of your panel should relate to anime, manga, Japanese video games, and/or Japanese culture/fandom.
Please only submit one application for each panel you’d like to present. You may submit as many panels/applications as you’d like.
Approved head panelist will receive compensation for their time: $50 per hour of paneling time. This does not include setup time, breakdown time, or any practice or rehearsal time before the convention. Only the head panelist on this form is eligible for compensation, not any co-panelists.
Approved panelists will be notified 1-2 weeks after the application deadline of January 4, 2027.
If you are interested in running a panel at this year’s convention, please fill out a fan panel application below.
