MCM Comic Con Birmingham 2023 :: Leap Conventions

Describe your panel in 500 characters or less Required
Let us know what makes your panel unique. Limited to 500 characters INCLUDING spaces (This will be used for the schedule listing if your panel is chosen).

Panel Length Required
Panels are usually limited to 50 minutes max. Additional panel time will be provided at MCM's discretion and is not guaranteed.

Before submitting members of the panel, make sure all of your panelists are 100% interested in taking part. You wouldn't put down Gal Gadot's name without first consulting Wonder Woman herself, right? Right. Panellists' names can be adjusted later on, so for now only list the folks you know are committed. A maximum of six speaker badges will be provided per panel, which will be valid for the day of your participation at the show only. Unfortunately we aren't able to provide badges for plus 1s. And a reminder: ReedPop values fresh voices and diverse perspectives.

I/we understand that MCM is unable to provide moderators or panel hosts and they must form part of your panellists/speakers listed below.

Please list all of your panellists/speakers/performers Required
These will be used for the website if your panel is chosen. Please let us know their pronouns too.

Should my panel be accepted, I acknowledge that I will abide by the necessary safety precautions as provided by ReedPop and the venues.

If you're caught scalping or selling your Speaker Badges, you will be banned from presenting another panel at all ReedPop shows. Do you understand?

I understand that Speaker badges are day specific, unless otherwise agreed with MCM, and will only be valid entry tickets on the day of my panel participation.
Further passes to attend MCM on other days will need to be purchased in the usual way.
