The Youmacon 2026 Panelist Application is now online! You may click the below link to access our Panelist Application, or check out our application page on our website under resources.
https://forms.office.com/r/BNZhpfLZ3p
We're excited to see what you have in store for us. One thing to note is that we will have a "moving deadline" for this Application: When we receive enough applications that we think we can fully fill out the panel, we will put an announcement out that says we will start processing the application in 2 weeks. You'll have that time to submit your application and be included in the "1st Run" of submissions. The application will stay open, but Panel Applications submitted after the "1st Run" will only make it to get a Panel Invite if there is a cancellation or a rejection of a Panel Time.
It's this way we can get our Panels done earlier, and make sure that we notify our panelists way ahead of time that they can run a panel at Youmacon 2026.
