Panels are a cornerstone of Ashika-Con, and we take pride in offering programming that appeals to a wide range of interests. Whether you’re looking for something fun and informative, a creative workshop, an engaging discussion, or just lighthearted fandom fun, our panel schedule is designed with everyone in mind.
This is also where prospective panelists can find information on how to submit their ideas, and where attendees can stay updated as we get closer to the event. As our schedule develops, you’ll be able to explore a diverse lineup of sessions created by fellow members of the fandom community.
Ashika-Con’s programming is shaped by you. Attendee-run panels and events help make our convention vibrant, inclusive, and memorable — from skill-based workshops and creative showcases to meetups, performances, and interactive activities. We can’t wait to see what you bring to the stage!
