What are panels at MCM Comic Con?
They’re basically like podcasts, but in real life.
A panel can be best described as a group discussion or conversation that takes place in front of an audience. It typically involves a moderator who guides the discussion and a group of panellists who are experts or individuals with relevant experiences on the topic at hand.
Celebrity panels might include a Q&A with exclusives on their latest project, while community panels could be a deep-dive into the most controversial fan theories. On the other hand, some panels might have you learning something new, or simply put a smile on your face.
Are panels at MCM Birmingham free?
Panels are FREE for all ticket holders, and can take various formats, such as roundtable discussions, presentations, Q&A sessions, interactive games, live performances, or even story time for the little ones!
DO…
- Check the app in advance for a schedule of panels and set reminders
- Arrive in plenty of time for your chosen panel. We’d recommend around 15 minutes, or half an hour for celebrity panels.
- Download the map ahead of time so you know where each stage is
DON’T…
- Expect entry to panels if they’re already full (pro-tip: if the panel is full, double check if it’s being streamed to another stage - this is often the case for very popular Celeb panels)
- Take up seats if you don’t require them. Our panels are always popular so make sure you don’t take up extra seats so other fans can enjoy our panels too!
Panels bring celebrities, our fans, and industry professionals together, and are included in your ticket. No matter your fandom, there is a panel bound to excite, inspire and entertain you. Be sure to check out the diverse range of panels and screenings taking place on different stages – you never know what you might discover!
