Host Your Own Panel at Animaga Melbourne 2026

Got a passion for a topic that fits perfectly into the Animaga vibe? Panel applications for our Melbourne event are officially live! If you have ever wanted to take the stage and share your interests with a dedicated audience, this is your chance to host your own panel at the MCEC this August 29 and 30.

We are looking for a wide variety of topics that highlight the very best of anime and gaming culture. Whether you want to run a hands-on workshop detailing advanced cosplay armor builds, host a deep dive into the intricacies of plamo and model kit customization, or share your firsthand experience with indie game development, we want to hear your ideas. It is also a fantastic opportunity for artists to discuss manga illustration techniques, or for fans to showcase their niche hobbies directly to their target audience.

Running a panel is a great way to get involved in the convention. You do not need to be an industry professional to apply—just bring your passion, a clear outline of your presentation, and a desire to entertain and inform the attendees.

Spaces on our panel stages are always highly sought after, so we recommend putting together a detailed outline and getting your application in early. Head over to our website to read the full guidelines and submit your panel ideas for the Animaga Melbourne 2026 weekend. We are looking forward to seeing what you bring to the stage!
