Panelist Badges Pick-up

[AzuKyo]

Panelists have been informed that they can pick up their badges either Friday night or during the Panelist Meeting. My question regards the latter. Will panelists be allowed to traverse the con space to the Panelist Meeting without a badge?

Thanks in advance.

You don't need a badge to walk through the hotel, only to enter into "con space" (panel rooms, video rooms, event rooms, dealers hall, gaming, etc).

Thanks. I wanted clarification because at last year's venue, you had to have your badge to enter an area that had most of the panel rooms/creation station places.

Ah, yeah, I forgot about that! We don't have that this year, though so no worries this time
