Our guest announcements are all done, but the staff here at Genericon are pleased to unveil our Featured Panelist lineup for Genericon XXVI. For those unfamiliar, Featured Panelists are presenters with a proven track record of great panels whom we choose to highlight for their exceptional work. This year we welcome back some great Featured Panelists from previous years: The Con Artists, a group of RPI alumni who have run a host of great panels and trivia contests year after year; The Mandalorian Mercs, Star Wars cosplayers who give panels on building Mandalorian armor and podcasting; Walter Amos, an anime convention veteran who presented his popular panel “Hetalia History” (among others) at Genericon XXIV; and Alain (a.k.a. Hisui), one of the bloggers behind the Reverse Thieves anime blog and The Speakeasy anime podcast, who also appeared at Genericon XXIV.
