Programming Process

Key Dates
July 1 Programming opens
September 1 Round 1 deadline
September 15 Follow-up emails distributed
October 1 Round 2 deadline

Round 1

Programming items submitted on or before September 1 will be considered in Round 1 – items not scheduled during Round 1 will be considered in Round 2.  If you would like to submit an item for consideration, please click here. Submitting your ideas by September 1 may result in some helpful feedback that could increase your chances of having your presentation scheduled!  After our Round 1 review, we will ask some presenters to revise their submissions for consideration in Round 2.

This process is intended to allow us to make the best possible scheduling decisions and to potentially help us release the final PantheaCon schedule earlier than in past years.

Follow-up Emails

These emails will contain the result of your Round 1 review.   If you are asked to revise your submission, you will have until the Round 2 deadline (October 1) to make any necessary changes.  If you are given a day, time and room assignment, please bear in mind that this assignment will be subject to change in Round 2.

Round 2

Programming items not scheduled in or submitted after Round 1 will be considered in Round 2.  Items submitted after October 1 will very likely not be scheduled as Round 2 scheduling discussions will happen beginning on that date.

Waiting List

Some presentations will be added to a waiting list after Round 2.  Wait-listed presenters will need to confirm by email that they will be attending PantheaCon and ensure their contact information is accurate.  Cancellations can happen at the last minute, and we will need to be able to reach you.
