You don’t have to be a professional in the games industry to submit your panel - just have a unique or creative idea, whether silly or serious. If you’ve ever been to one of these events you’ll know a panel with developers talking about Very Serious Video Games Stuff sits comfortably next to a rambling history of heavy metal in fantasy RPGs. I know which one I’d go and see.
You’ll find the forms for PAX Online here and the submission process for EGX Digital just here. You’ll be amongst friends too, as VG247 will be (virtually) hanging out at EGX Digital, alongside a bunch of other websites that are part of the ReedPop family, including Eurogamer, Dicebreaker, Outside Xbox and Cosplay Central. If you want to be part of a very cool thing, get your skates on and submit your ideas today or tomorrow at the latest.
