Regarding Spotlighted Guests and Panelists for 2025:

- 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.
