FanX Salt Lake's final day: Saturday hours and panels across fandom
The September 26 programme at the Salt Palace spans Critical Role, romantasy, indie creature effects and late film and tabletop panels. Check exact rooms before travelling.
FanX Salt Lake's last day is Saturday, September 26 at the Salt Palace Convention Center. The organiser's event page lists registration from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. , the vendor floor from 10:45 a.m. to 7 p.m. , and panel programming from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. These are Salt Lake City local times. VIP and Ruby passholders have a
listed 10 a.m. vendor-floor entry; anyone still needing a wristband must visit registration during its opening hours. Check the live Saturday schedule for changes, room details and any booking requirements before setting out. The first decision is at 11 a.m. The schedule places a Critical Role panel with Laura Bailey,
Sam Riegel and Liam O'Brien in the Grand Ballroom. At the same time, Alexandra Kennington, Tricia Levenseller and Chloe Gong are among the authors on Fiery Femmes: Feminine Rage in Romantasy Novels in room 255C. A Bleach episode screening is listed in room 258 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Those overlapping starts make
the official room and queue information more useful than an undifferentiated guest list. At 2 p.m. , Filming Monsters—Creature Effects for Indie Film in room 255E promises a practical-effects demonstration with Rob York, Chris Hanson and Veronika Golden. The same slot includes a Dungeon Crawler Carl discussion in room
255F, Brandon Sanderson's spotlight in the Grand Ballroom until 3:30 p.m., and a YA-to-adult publishing panel in room 255D. These are scheduled sessions, not reports of what speakers have already said. The evening still has options as the vendor floor approaches its 7 p.m. close. The organiser lists 40 Years of Aliens
in room 150D, Practical Genre Filmmaking in room 150A, Bryan Young's BattleTech and MechWarrior discussion in room 255C, and a speculative-fiction writing panel in room 255A, all starting at 6 p.m. Film fans and tabletop readers cannot attend every simultaneous session, so choose one and recheck the live programme.
FanX also provides a separate accessibility page for venue needs.
