From ConComm: Let's talk PANELS!

Hey everybody!  It's almost THAT time! The clocks have sprung forward, pollen is in the air, and the Easter Bunny has delivered his last egg . . . so it must be time for: PANELS!

Your ConCom wants to provide the best programming possible and to do that we need your ideas! All EMC programming will be drawn exclusively from member input. To assure that your fandom will appear in the
program schedule, email us panel and workshop suggestions at: EasternMediaCon@aol.com
Please type "Panel Suggestion" in the subject line. 

Please keep in mind the following programming deadlines as you prepare to share your panel ideas:
Panel Topic Suggestions: April 15 to June 15, 2007
Panel Sign-ups: July 1 to August 1, 2007
Programming Schedule Finalized: August 1, 2007

The first step, which is coming up mere days from now, is the suggestions phase. So come on folks, let those ideas rip! Whether you are a panel virgin, a panel pro, or anything in between, we want to hear from YOU! And remember, just because you have suggested a panel does not automatically sign you up to be a moderator. Feel free to nominate panel ideas, even if you do not wish to be a panelist or moderator. Once all panel suggestions have been finalized, we will post to the list and ask for moderators to sign up.

Don't forget, the more detailed and thought-out your topic idea, the better panel it will make. While you might want to see a panel on Starsky and Hutch, don't just send an email saying "Starsky and Hutch panel." Give us specifics.

Below, you'll find the preferred format for suggesting panel ideas. Then, below that, we've provided a few samples that might help get you in the right groove to communicate all the great panel ideas that are in your head just dying to be set free.

Also, be sure to read Kath Moonshine's upcoming posts on What Makes a Successful Panel? as well as the post regarding Workshops. Here's the Panel Suggestion Format! Copy/paste into your emails as needed. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
