Submit a Panel

Do you have a panel idea? We want to hear about it!

We’re looking for a wide variety of panels for Vancoufur 2025, including topics like:

  • Art
  • Writing
  • Fursuiting
  • Crafting
  • Social meetups
  • Music
  • Theme-related events (e.g. Alice in wonderland)
  • Video, tabletop, or board games
  • Tech-related (e.g. streaming, computers, science, etc.)
  • My Little Pony
  • Youth/family related panels (for under 18)
  • 18+ panels
  • General interest

Please submit your panel idea using the form. Panels are considered in the priority of the order they were submitted. Our events team will be going over submissions in late December and be starting to notify folk if their panel is accepted or if we need more information. Panelists of panels will be contacted late December early Jan about their acceptance. Panelists must be registered for the convention to be accepted. 

If you have any questions, comments, concerns about your panel, please contact [email protected].

NEW FOR 2026!

  • Panelists must be registered for the event to be accepted for a panel. They do not need to pay immediately, but they need to be in the system.
  • If people submit the same idea, we may reach out to have you work together to deliver one AMAZING panel rather than several of the same type. 
  • We did have some complaints last year about quality of panels, so we will be scrutinizing them a little more this year. Take the time to make sure your application is polished and clear about what you will be delivering.

Panel Submissions close Dec 7, 2025.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What if I have questions? Who do I contact?

A. You can join the VF Public Discord server and ask directly, or you can email [email protected] for more information.

Q: I have a music performance I’d like to present. Can I get stage time for this?

A. We’re delighted to invite performers of all flavors, but the main stage schedule is typically very full and our ability to accommodate stand alone performances are limited. This year we have more schedule space in our secondary theater and a large panel room for such events. Still, we may refer some submissions to the scheduled Variety Show, which is an opportunity to show off your talent to a combined audience.
