WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS ON STAGE
Our Panels and Q&As are where truly special moments come to life. When the guests step onto the main stage, unforgettable experiences often unfold—completely unscripted.
You’ll see your favorite stars in a whole new light: approachable, genuine, and often very different from the characters you know from their films or series. The conversations go far beyond their latest projects or roles, offering behind-the-scenes stories, memorable moments from set, and the unique chemistry between cast members on stage.
A MOMENT THAT HAPPENS ONLY ONCE
The best part? You’re part of it.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask the questions that truly matter to you, helping to shape these unique moments yourself. Every question has the potential to spark a new story, reveal an unexpected memory, or create a moment that everyone in the room will remember.
Panels are much more than conversations on a stage.
They are live, one-of-a-kind experiences filled with emotion, genuine connection, and the special energy that comes from bringing fans and guests together in the same moment.
PANELS & Q&As – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ACCESS TO THE PANELS
All Panels at the German Rookie Con are included with your admission ticket. With a valid entry ticket, you can attend all scheduled Panels throughout the day.
A varied stage program awaits you, beginning with the Opening Ceremony and followed by a series of Panels featuring our special guests.
SCHEDULE & PROGRAM
Guests may appear on stage individually or in different combinations, with group panels often leading to especially entertaining and spontaneous moments.
During the Q&A sessions, you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and interact directly with the guests.
SEATING
Please note that seating for the Panels is not guaranteed. All seats are available on a first come, first served basis.
Reserving or saving seats for an extended period of time using jackets, bags, or other personal belongings is not permitted. If seats are blocked in this way, our staff reserves the right to remove the items so that other guests may use the seats. Removed belongings can be collected afterward from a designated location.
IMPORTANT PANEL GUIDELINES
Panels are intended for questions and shared conversations with all attendees. They are not the appropriate place to request personal video messages, hand over gifts, or ask guests for hugs.
For more personal interactions, we recommend booking an Autograph or Selfie ticket, where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the guests individually and exchange a few words.
If you’d like to ask a question during a Q&A session, we’d love for you to participate. However, due to time constraints, we cannot guarantee that everyone will have the opportunity to ask a question.
FILMING & PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography and filming during the Panels are permitted for personal use.
However, recording entire Panels or extended sequences (more than two consecutive minutes) and publishing them on your own channels—particularly if monetized—is not permitted.
If filming is completely prohibited during a specific Panel, this will be clearly announced on site.
PROGRAM CHANGES
Please note that, in exceptional circumstances, the schedule may change. Panels may be rescheduled, shortened, or cancelled for organizational reasons
.
We therefore cannot guarantee that every individual Panel or specific program item will take place as originally planned.
