OMG!Con's Covid policy for 2024 is currently planned to be that masks or facial coverings will be optional for general attendance.

However, we will allow guests and panelists to require masks for their specific panels if they choose to do so.

The program guide will note which panels require masks, and signage will be available at the panel room door.  

If you have a mask requirement for your panel and there are issues with attendees who are uncooperative after being adked to mask up, please alert a volunteer or staff member for assistance.

With that out of the way, will this panel be masks optional or masks required?

(If you change your mind on this after submitting your panel application, please email programming@omgcon.com and we can switch it for you).
