Panels, Workshops, Actual Plays, and Special Events

Submissions for Panel, Workshop, Actual Plays, and other special events is closed. Check back later in 2025 for our 2026 submission form. 

OrcaCon is excited to offer a wide variety of panels and talks from people who work in the tabletop games space or are tabletop game content creators. We’ll have an amazing lineup of Special Guests who will present panels and priority always given to BIPOC creators, artists, and designers in the tabletop industry. We are also looking for submissions from our community regarding Tabletop Games, too. 

In particular, we’re interested in talks and panels about the game industry, inclusive design, game development, content creation, Actual Plays and more. We have limited space 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.

All panelists are required to be aware of and agree to abide by the terms of our policies before being able to submit a Panel Application. If there is anything you do not understand about this policy, please contact us before even considering submitting a panel or event by emailing panels@orcacon.org
