Panel Application | C2E2 2023

All fields are required.


What makes C2E2 of the coolest and best conventions on planet Earth? Besides being Chicago's home for the latest and greatest in all things pop culture - the answer is YOU! This is your show and for C2E2's historic 2023 we need your help to make it the biggest and best it can be! We're looking for original and creative programming, so if you think you've got what it takes, apply now to host a panel or screening at the show. Make sure it's kick ass though, as panel and screening slots are in high demand!


And when you’re putting together your panelists, keep in mind that we value fresh voices and diverse perspectives: if everyone on your panel looks and sounds just like you, you may want to rethink your approach.


So set a couple reminders now and make sure your submissions are in early. You'll hear back from the team by early February with a decision on your submission - we know, the anticipation is killing you. In the meantime, the ReedPop team is just an email away. So if you have any questions or concerns while you wait, feel free to drop a line to our Content Team at panels@reedpop.com


May the odds be ever in your favor!


Deadline:

Friday, January 20, 2023 at 6:00 PM Central Time
