Events and Activities
Watch this space for all the wonderful events we have planned!
A panel is, in short, one or more people (actors, crew, fans, and more) talking about whatever they want, as long as it relates to the show! Past OFMD fan event panels have been about writing, fan art, cosplay, history, sea shanties, lighthouses, queer sea creatures...the sky's the limit.
Panels at The Wee Con will be held in the main theatre (our biggest hall) between 9:30am and 4pm on both Saturday and Sunday. We aim to live-stream as many of them as possible. And as a bonus, for people who would like to spend time socializing and crafting but don't want to miss the panels, our upper hall venue has a screen and audio system, so we are hopeful that we may be able to stream the panels in there while they are being recorded in the main hall.
Submit a Panel Idea
We're looking for submissions for panel ideas! Here are some details:
Panels can be any duration up to 50 minutes.
You can do a panel solo or with a squad.
No previous panel experience is needed (but if it's your first time, tell us - it helps us help you out).
If you have multiple topics in mind, list them all - it helps the submissions team assemble a good mix of stuff! If we have several submissions on a similar theme, it may be turned into an interconnected panel because common themes are delicious.
Likewise, if you have an idea but it's not "fully baked", submit it anyway!

Panels
Workshops are much smaller than panels, with a maximum of 20 attendees. They are also more focused with guided group crafting sessions or demonstrations. Past OFMD fan event workshops have included acting, writing, crafting, figure drawing, and more.
Workshops at The Wee Con will be held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons in our two workshop rooms. Workshops will not be live-streamed because of limited space and access, but workshop organizers may opt to provide some videos in advance for online participants to look at.
