A successful panel will be entitled to registration at a reduced rate for up to 2 members of your panel.  A committee selects from the applicants and the decision is final.  If your panel is accepted you will be given a link to use to register as a panelist. 

All panels must be relevant to KotoriCon. That means they must be related to one or more of the following areas of interest: Japanese music and culture, anime/animation, manga/comics, video games, AMVs, cosplay, art, or crafts, or our theme for this year. KotoriCon is a family-friendly convention. All panels must be suitable for attendees of all ages.
