The Panels We will be doing include:

Girl’s Guide to Con Going: 2pm Friday in Panel Room 18

Chiaki and Kimiko sit down and go over their no-holds-bar Girl’s Guide to Con Going.  This panel has been informative, funny, and sometimes ending in a conga line throughout the convention.  What is on the Girls Guide?  Well we can’t tell you! But it’s definitely something for the ladies, and maybe even the guys.
The Cosplay Dating Game: 12pm Saturday in Panel Room  22
Three lucky girls and three lucky guys will compete in the traditional speed dating Q&A style for one lucky bachelor and one lucky bachelorette!  But here’s the catch, they’ll all be in Cosplay!  You don’t want to miss the questions, the responses, and the reactions this panel is going to bring out.  Prizes for the winners!  Sign-up for the bachelors/bachelorettes will be 30 minutes before the panel so don’t miss out if you want to participate.

Traveling to Japan: 12pm Sunday Panel Room 19

If you want to someday go to the land of the rising sun this is not a panel you want to miss!  Hosted by someone who has not only traveled extensively through Japan on multiple occasions (most recently this year) but has lived there as an exchange student with a host family for 6 months.  This panel offers a good rundown on everything from the culture, things to see, and how to make a budget.  Get an insider’s look at Japan and get the insider scoop before planning your trip.
The Best Anime Never Seen or Heard Of!: 3pm Sunday in Panel Room 19

So much good anime goes unwatched because it never makes it over to America.  Or, even if it does make it to America, it’s unsung and found collecting dust in the back of the store.  If you’re a new anime fan or an old veteran this panel is almost certain to expose you to at least one thing you’ve never seen, or even heard of!  This panel is new and improved, so kick back, relax, and get a sampling of some great anime.
