Additional Information

Would your panel benefit from a different setup from our normal panel rooms - for instance, an open space or tables for people to work on? *

Does your event require attendees to pay an upfront cost of materials for hands-on activities? *

Describe your table needs *

Our ability to reconfigure main panel rooms is very limited, but we have some alternative spaces that might be better suited for specific needs.

Describe your material costs *

Please describe what materials you'll be providing and how much you'll need to charge attendees to participate.

Technical Needs *

By default, each panel room will have a table with four microphones, power for a laptop, and connections for 1/8" audio and HDMI video. VGA support will not be available. If you need anything beyond this please describe it here. Our techops department (techops@magwest.org) will reach out to you directly for details.
