A few years ago, I organized a panel called Asexual Spectrum Atheists for FTBCon, an online conference. It was great success, and we were praised as “the nightmarish collision of FTB and tumblr!” OrbitCon is the spiritual successor of FtBCon, held on April 13-15. If I organized a similar panel, would anyone be interested in either watching, or being a panelist?
Ideally, the panel would have a variety of viewpoints, including ace/aro atheists/freethinkers who have never been involved in atheist communities, people who used to be involved but left, and people who are involved currently. Probably most of the time spent won’t be about atheism at all. OrbitCon will provide tools and information if you wish to conceal your identity.
I’m ambivalent about organizing this, because I’ve been doing this for so long and it would be nice to have fresher faces. Depending on the level of interest we can figure something out.

If you end up deciding to go forward with this, and still need more panelists, I’d be interested – just let me know!
