Corey moderated what functioned as a traditional academic-conference panel of papers. There was a third presenter whom I didn't mention, and a fourth who couldn't make it to the con at the last minute and whose paper was not given.
I learned the hard way about the grad students looking for vita fodder when I chaired Mythcon four years ago. Grad students can't tell you if they'll attend until their department tells them they have funding, and that's after the deadline for setting the program. Grad students also submit proposals in April accompanied by e-mail addresses at which, it turns out, they can't be reached during the summer when you need them.
