Participating in more than one panel

[ReijiKitozawa 0]

Are people allowed to be in more than one panel? I did not see anything about it on the panels page but I would just like to make sure. I'm not asking for any monstrous number. I would just like to participate in two panels.

Also, if I am allowed to ask, why has the panels policy changed from a few weeks ago when it said that a panel could have a maximum of four panelists to now only allowing two panelists?

Yes, you can participate in more than one panel. However you must submit a separate application for each panel idea.

As to the change in policy, that was the result of some numbers crunching, nothing more.

And I just noticed that new policy about two panelists. This does kind of throw a wrench into things. I'm sure a lot of experienced panelists (including me) have their dream team as it were set to go. Only being able to bring two people is kind of discouraging.

I would have to agree with the above about the 2 panelists rule.

I am rather curious because it really does throw a huge wrench into our operations. Would it be possible to include more than 2 panelists, but just have two "primary" panelists be eligible for a comped or post con refund as stated above?

And to be honest, I'm willing to bet that there's going to be some guest panels that will include more than 2 panelists and maybe a moderator as well. I'm not exactly confident that the 2 panelist rule will fly too well within the fan panels community, especially with exceptions that may apply to the guests and industry panels.

Yes you can have more than two panelists; however, only two will be eligible for panelist benefits.
