If you have room, we'd be interested in chairing these panels.

So You Want to Be a Fenspace Magnate
You have an idea, and you think you can make that idea work so well that you'll be as rich as Marsden, O'Neill, or Scott. We're here to help you make that happen, or at least tell you how not to lose your shirt trying.
Requirements: A digital whiteboard, an Interwave connection, and enough power points to run a half-dozen interwave-connected terminals. We'll supply the terminals.

Virtual Astroball
Using a custom-modded version of Aces High!, play virtual Astroball against the L5 All-Stations in the same simulators that the team uses to practice.
Requirements: Enough power to run 33 large video screens, eleven high-powered servers, and a multi-path router, and a room large enough for ten VR cockpits and a referee's station. The servers and router are rack-mounted, taking up an entire server-room rack. Optionally, an audio/video feed to the rest of the Con so people can watch the matches in real time. If there's enough interest, we'll run this throughout the Con.
