We welcome a wide variety of subjects for panels, but keep in mind that this is an anime and gaming convention; panels that focus on these areas will be given preference when it comes to scheduling.

AARC Panel Policy
The panel schedule is constructed of 1-hour blocks. That is 45 minutes for the panel itself and 15 minutes for setup and breakdown.
A panelist should arrive at least 10 minutes before the panel is scheduled to begin setup.
Panels that begin more than 15 minutes late can still continue but must end on time.
Panelists are responsible for cleaning up any trash or beverages they’ve brought into the room.
Emergencies happen. It’s okay. Inform A.A.R.C. Staff in the event of an emergency or other occurrences that will prevent the panelist/s from conducting their scheduled panel(s). You can email us at aarc.panel@gmail.com or inform us at convention operations.
