Regarding Spotlighted Guests and Panelists for 2025:

  • Spotlighted Guests receive 1 complimentary full-weekend Event Ticket for their participation.  Spotlighted Guests may purchase up to TWO additional Event Tickets at 50% off our regular weekend Event Ticket Rate for assistants or significant others who would like full access to Imaginarium 2025’s programming, events, and activities.
  • Panelists receive 50% off of our full-weekend Event Ticket rate, with full access to the Imaginarium 2025 weekend for just $75 (normally $150). Panelists may also purchase up to TWO additional full-weekend Event Tickets at the discounted rate.
  • All Spotlighted Guests and Panelists will be featured on our main Guest Page, in addition to having an individual Guest/Panelist page on our Official Site.
  • Panelists and Spotlighted Guests must be available for activity on at least two days of the Imaginarium 2025 Convention week, July 18-20, 2025.
  • We ask that Panelists participate on a minimum of two panel sessions, or to present an accepted workshop/seminar.
  • Please do not apply if you are unsure of your schedule/availability for the Imaginarium 2025.  Accepted Panelists and Spotlighted Guests are promoted on the site and the list of accepted guests can have an effect on both programming planning and acceptance of new guests.  Only apply if you are sure you can attend if accepted. If you are employed, clear your availability with your employer prior to filling out this application. We understand emergency situations, but we expect you to participate if you are named a Spotlighted Guest or Panelist of Imaginarium 2025. We promote our Spotlighted Guests, Panelists, and programming extensively, and create graphics, banners and guest pages that take time, effort, and resources, and those who do not honor their commitment deny a slot to other potential Spotlighted Guests and Panelists and creates added challenges for our programming staff.
