GwF 2026 Panel Registration
  • GATEway FATE 2026 Panel Registration

  • **Legal last names/surnames are required and must match your state-issued ID or other photo ID. **

    These names will not be listed anywhere publicly and are for staff data only. 

  • Upon clicking next for this panel, lead panelist hearby accepts responsibility for their panelist teams behavior, remarks and information given. Those who are not listed on the roster may not participate as panelists. If an unlisted participant acts as a panelist (such as, the lead panelist invites them to be panelists during or prior to the panel) and breaks any rules of the event or partakes in anything inappropriate during your panel it will still be held against the lead panelist. This may result in the lead panelist to not be asked to return in future events.

    This does NOT include hecklers or normal panel attendees comments, behaviors or remarks (those are not the panelists' responsibility!)

  •  -
  • Please keep in mind we can not guarantee the day or time you choose, as we do a first-come, first-served basis + current interest. However, we will try our hardest to accommodate your requests.

    PLEASE READ THIS OVER, AS IT IS IN REGARDS TO TIME SLOTS.

    All panels are, by default, a 1-hour long time slot (including set-up and tear down). Your panel contents should be 50 minutes long and leave 5 minutes in the beginning for setup, and 5 minutes in the end to clean up. Too many panelists have been running over their time, causing an inconvenience for the panelists & panel runners following up. 

    Example: if your panel is at 4:00PM, you should arrive by 4:00PM, and give yourself 5 minutes to set up and begin your panel at 4:05PM. Your panel should be wrapped up by 4:55 PM and to exit by 5:00 PM. If you are more than 10 minutes late without any notice to your panel, it will be canceled.

    DO NOT choose a day that you can't do. You will be considered able to do every day you choose below. Day change requests will be handled on a case by case basis.

    Example: If your team cannot make Sunday, then do not choose Sunday. If you have obligations Saturday morning and can only do Saturday late afternoon, then please list it on times that do not work. 

  • Clarifications for Panel Type: 

    Crowd Interaction: You may host the games in-character however, the bulk of your entire panel should revolve around the game itself, and not interaction with the characters hosting.  

    Character Interaction:  Q&A, Ad-Lib/Improv, Game Nights, Skit Oriented, ect. The entertainment for the panel is based on interaction with the characters/actors hosting the panel.

    Unique Floor Plan Group Activity: This will be approved on a case-by-case basis due to the nature of the open floor plan activity. This is due to the limited availability of the rooms to do this. 

  • We will try to accommodate your outside equipment to the best of our abilities. However, please check to see if your laptop/computer device is able to hook up to a projector. If you are unsure, list it below and we'll get back to you.

    If you change what laptop compatible hookup you need without informing the event prior to the convention or panel, we are not responsible for the panel running late. Staff will do their best to accomodate the change on the spot, but we cannot garuntee having the equipment on hand and will run the risk of your panel running behind.

  • Please understand there is a 5-minute window at the beginning of each panel for set up time. If you bring your own equipment like a laptop, dvd player or anything of the sort, it is very important to arrive early or prompt to your panel for testing and hook up. Also, you must bring your own cables for your outside equipment. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the notes section. 

    There is set equipment in each panel room. Below is the list of said equipment. We are unable to accommodate beyond 2 microphones due to set up and sound tests between each panel. 

    -(2) Microphones

    -(1) Projector & Projector Screen. Remote not included.

    -(4) Chairs (You may pull more chairs from the audience)

    -(1) 7' table

    - House Sound Hookup, must be compatible with a 3.55 mm AUX cord (typical for most laptops, not MAC) We will try to accommodate by request, but please prepare to bring your own adapter if unsure. 

    ! Beyond this point is ADDITIONAL panel equipment. If you do not click the equipment you need below it will not be present at your panel. If there are any changes, you must e-mail us immediately, or we can not guarantee it will be prepared!

    Due to complications, we no longer offer dry erase boards.
