Norwescon has a new staff every year, fields interest from hundreds of qualified people who want to be panelists, and has space for just over 200, so the process can be very competitive. We’re always looking for a good balance of skills and specialties, and therefore might turn down impressively qualified people if their skill set overlaps too much with other people we’ve already invited. We start from scratch every year and actively try to cycle through the large number of highly qualified pros available to allow space for new points of view and to keep our content fresh.Name* First Last Email* Enter Email Confirm Email Website Have you been a pro/panelist at Norwescon before?*YesNoHave you been a pro/panelist at other conventions?*YesNoAre you a published author?*YesNoIn what genre(s) do you publish?*Pro/panelist experience*Please list what other conventions at which you have been a pro/panelist.What subject areas are you most qualified to speak about?*(Check all that apply.)
