Panel and Event Suggestions

Now accepting your Soonercon convention ideas!

Share ideas for panels, workshops and other convention activities by submitting the form below. Your suggestions are appreciated and help us create an educational, entertaining and diverse fandom fellowship experience.

Submission Guidelines

• One idea at time, please. Feel free to submit as many suggestions as you like by completing one form per suggestion.
• Details help. A lot. Try to provide us with enough info on the form to get a general concept of what it would take to make this super fun thing happen.
• Try to keep your description at one to four short sentences. With over 100 hours of scheduling to do for the con weekend, we have to make as much room as possible in our text information spaces.
• Think about time. Soonercon panels are scheduled as 45 minute blocks. Workshops, performances, screenings, games, meetups and other special activities may be scheduled in longer time blocks.
• Consider using keywords in your suggestion’s description. This helps us tag the various ways your idea is related to other program content in our databases.
• Don’t be afraid to express a new thing we’ve not tried before. Your imagination is a wonder and your creativity offers a unique perspective that gives Soonercon’s program life and dimension.
• Keep it clean. No harsh expletives.
• Be inclusive. We have zero tolerance for hate speech, cultural appropriation, racial epithets or other derogatory expressions.
• Fact checking is a fun and important part of our editorial process for all Soonercon content, and we always love seeing people give credit to others’ work(s) they reference. FYI.
• Generally, we are seeking All-Ages content (G to PG-13 rating). We accept suggestions for children’s programming (0-12yr), All-Ages, as well as 18+ convention content (M/R rating). For any adult-only content, all participants must show valid government-issued identification showing they are at least 18 years of age at the time of the scheduled activity.
• To submit a list of suggestions via email, please prepare a .CSV file to attach with the following column headers and applicable content: Topic; Full Description; Length (Hr/Min.); Required Resources; Room Setup Style; Intended Audience Age; Suggested facilitator/panelists; Notes and Special Considerations
