One of the biggest draws at JAFAX is its wide variety of panels. Led by our attendees, our staff, and even our special guests, JAFAX's panels engage, educate, and entertain. Recent panel topics have included Japanese 101: Language Lessons for Beginners, Simple Anime Origami, Cosplaying and Conventions on a Budget, Godzilla in Japan, and K-Pop Fashion Over the Generations. Ask our celebrities about their voice-acting careers at our Celebrity Q&A sessions. Participate in hilarious games such as Anime Pictionary, led by our friends from The Party Table. Or, if you are knowledgeable about a character, fandom, or aspect of Japanese culture, or if you have a skill that you'd like to share with your fellow attendees, consider applying to be a panelist at this year's event! Preference is given to panels about anime and manga, Japanese culture, cosplay craftsmanship, and gaming (including interactive games).

​

Our 2025 Panels Schedule will be published later this spring, as we get closer to our event date.

Our Panels Application is now closed. Letters of acceptance will be going out the week of April 13th. Thank you for your interest in leading a panel at JAFAX 2025!
