Hello future panelists!
We're excited to invite you to apply for FWA Panels which will receive applications through Februar 15, 2026 (11:59 PM EST). Please ensure you fill out the form as thoroughly as possible. Your information is treated with the utmost confidentiality.
Requirements:
Applicants must have relevant experience in the field they plan to present.
Serious applicants only, please.
Approval to host a panel doesn't include convention admission. Make sure to register for an attendee membership at furryweekend.com/registration.
Important Notes:
Submit a separate application for each panel you wish to host.
Approval isn't guaranteed for any panel submission.
By submitting this application you are agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth by FWA registration (http://www.furryweekend.com/registration/.)
