Panel Ballot Results

Thanks to everyone who took the time to fill out your panel ballot. Here are the top-chosen panels, along with a few of the write-ins that sounded interesting. The topics in red were popular, but no one volunteered to lead them. If they’re not adoped in the next 24 hours, they’ll be dropped from the schedule, and others will be promoted in their place. Would you like to lead one of these? Comment here, or drop a note to info@escapadecon.net.
