3. Name any previous experience in panel hosting (optional)
4. Pitch yourself and your panel idea, i.e., persuade us to accept your panel idea and you as a host, by answering, “Why do you think you will be successful at this role?” and “Why do you think we want your panel as part of Genshincon 2022”.The pitch is optional but encouraged to strengthen your application.In case of the Group Panel, you will also be asked to list contact email of each person confirmed for the panel.

These emails will be sent anytime from when the apps close until mid-April.How will you be deciding who gets accepted?
First and foremost, we are looking for a variety of panels and panel hosts. We hope to pack the convention with different events in the hope that anyone attending will find a panel or two that interests them.
Second, we are looking for entertainers, anyone with the knowledge they would like to share, and anyone with a panel idea they'd like to see come to life.Experience in online conventions, either panel hosting or attending, is not necessary. Experience in hosting events, panels, and discussions will be advantageous, but these needn't be convention events. Even if you've never hosted a panel before but have experience in attending conventions, conferences, talks, and similar, we encourage you to apply.We strongly encourage women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, and disabled people to apply. We want to give a platform to underrepresented voices in the Genshin Impact community and the gaming community as a whole.What are some examples of the panels you are looking for?
Genshin world lore analysis (summarize the world of Teyvat for us, talk about obscure lore details you found in the most obscure parts of the game, hypothesize about future events and characters, use elements of the Teyvat to talk about real-world inspirations for them, etc.), Genshin build tutorials and showcases (what is the easiest way to build characters, tips and tricks, gameplay hacks, showcase team synergies, what are the underrated characters and how to build them, how to make any character fit your playstyle, etc.), serious discussions inspired by Teyvat or Genshin Impact player community (you can use events or social issues brought up in the games and link them to real-world events, historical or contemporary), or anything along those lines and more.When will I know whether I got accepted or not?
Acceptance and waitlisted emails will be sent out by mid-April.I got waitlisted for this year! When will I know if I moved up from the waitlist?
Waitlisted panelists may be contacted to fill in for accepted panelists that drop out. The latest time estimated for waitlisted panelists to be contacted is end of May 2022.If you are waitlisted, it pertains only to the year you applied. Being waitlisted does not guarantee a spot, whether for this year or next year.Why was I not accepted?
Some reasons we may not accept an application include: an unclear description of the panel, no proof of online activity prior to the application, broken links, social media accounts that don’t reflect the spirit of our code of conduct, duplicates of the same panel idea, and others. If there is more interest than slots available, we will prioritize original panel ideas, convincing pitches, underrepresented hosts, and experienced panelists.
