Panel Submission

Running your own events

Submit a Panel

Sharing culture within the furry community is essential for Infurnity to thrive, and by running panels, everyone is welcome to learn new things from or to have inspiring discussions with panelists or other panel participants.

In other furry conventions around the world, it is pretty common to see so many panels hosted by self-driven enthusiasts just like you and me. On that account, we would like to invite YOU to share your ideas and host a panel! Wanna host a tutorial session, or share your thoughts as an artist? Ready to spread your love or interest with like-minded participants? Or maybe you just want to host a meet ‘n’ greet, or feel like playing a game with fellow con-goers and guests?

Whatever it might be, please don’t hesitate to submit it! We would love to have you be a part of what makes Infurnity an excellent convention.
