The panel schedule is constructed of 1 hour blocks.  However, you will need time to setup and wrap up your panel, as explained below.  Between the 10 minutes to tear down, and the 5 minutes to set up, you will have 45 minutes to present your panel.  If you have a 2 hour block, then it will be 105 minutes.  For a 3 hour block, 165 minutes, and so on.  Please request an appropriate block of time to give your panel, but keep in mind we favor 1 hour blocks.

Panelists must begin wrapping up their panel 10 minutes before the end of the scheduled time.  Panelists and attendees should have cleared the room before the end of the scheduled time.

Please allow yourself 5 minutes to set up your panel. Panels that begin more than 15 minutes late can still continue but must end on time. Panelists are responsible for cleaning up any trash or beverages they’ve brought into the room.

Please try not to rearrange the room or move the A/V equipment around.  If you must, then please reset the room before you leave.

Emergencies happen.  It’s okay.  Inform Anime Corpus Christi staff in the event of an emergency or other occurrence that will prevent the panelist/s from conducting their scheduled panel(s). You can email us at info@hightideevents.org.
