Panels
Whether you want to share fursuiting tips and tricks, a survival guide to socialising at furry meets or just talk about a topic that you feel passionate about, panels are a great platform for you to present on just about anything!
How to Apply
- Register as an attendee by following the instructions here.
- Apply to host a panel via our Application Form.
- Our team will reach out to you to clarify further or let you know if your application is successful.
During LIFCO, you will be provided with a voice channel where you can stream your slides and present. You will also be provided with a text channel where you can post and pin various links and resources.
Please note that applications will close on 4 January 2025.
Tips for Panellists
- Do be on time for your panel! We recommend that you join your panel’s voice channel at least 10 minutes before your panel’s time slot to set up your presentation. This way, if there are technical issues, we can help you resolve them before your presentation starts.
- By default, attendees will not be able to speak on the voice call during your panel. If you have additional speakers, or need to allow all attendees to speak, please ask for assistance on the #activity-admin channel on the LIFCO Discord.
- Your presentation’s channel has a text chat where attendees can send messages. You can read more about Discord voice call text chat here. You can post your panel slides, additional resources, and so on, in this chat. You can also use this chat to interact with your audience and answer relevant questions as they pop up.
- Do note that if anyone is using their video camera or sharing their screen in the voice call, Discord automatically enforces a 25-person limit in that call. If you have a Twitch account (or any other streaming service), we highly encourage you to stream your panel so that more attendees can attend it.
- Try to finish within the allocated time slot, but don’t worry if you exceed the time — we won’t chase you out. But do take note that attendees may want to join other activities after your time slot, so they may not stay until the end if you extend beyond your time slot.
- Do note that the channel will be inaccessible after LIFCO concludes, so if there is anything you need on the channel, please save it before the event is over.
- Do ask if you need help. If you have questions, feel free to message us on Telegram at @LittleIslandFC, email us at admin@littleislandfur, or contact us on any of our social media platforms listed below. During the event, there will be the #activity-admin channel on the LIFCO Discord for you to ask questions and request assistance.
- Don’t feel nervous during your panel. Everyone is here to have fun, learn new things, and meet new people. You don’t need to give the perfect presentation. Just give it your best shot, and have fun!
