The panels are where the con makes news — trailers, casting reveals, and creators talking about work before it ships. Two premier stages carry the marquee sessions and eight-plus rooms carry everything else, which means there is almost always something on if your first choice has a queue.
What to expect
Scheduled panels and screenings across more than eight rooms plus two premier stages, running all four days.
