Terms & Conditions

Tekko/Sangawa reserves the right to accept or decline panel applications for any reason. Panels & Workshops at Sangawa are reimbursable at a rate of $20 per hour of content (to be divided among the presenters at the discretion of the Head Panelist) up to the cost each individual paid for their badge. For example, if a panelist pays a $55 preregistration price for their badge, has no co-panelists and hosts three hours of content, they will be eligible for a $55 reimbursement (4 panels x $20 = $60, which is more than the $55 they paid). 

Reimbursement may bet picked up at-show (after panel completion) or email Programming@pittjcs.org to request electronic reimbursement.  After the con finishes, cash reimbursment is no longer available. After a week from the con closing, electronic reimbursment is no longer availabe and your reimbursement is forfeited.

For more details on Panel & Workshop Reimbursements, please visit https://tekko.us/panels#reimbursement-policy Panel & Workshop Applications will remain open until December 1st, 2025 11:59 pm EST.

Any submissions received after this deadline will have a much lower rate of acceptance, and at best may be offered a spot on our Wait List. For applications submitted before this deadline, we will send an email to the address you provide below to let you know if your panel or workshop has been accepted. All applicants should utilize the same email that they plan to register and purchase a badge with.
