SDCC 2015: Nerd HQ Conversations for a Cause Schedule

Last night, Zachary Levi’s company, The Nerd Machine, announced the initial schedule for its 5th annual Conversations for a Cause panels at Nerd HQ. Read on for all the details.

This year, Nerd HQ will take place at the New Children’s Museum in downtown San Diego, located at 200 W Island Ave, which is across the railroad tracks from the Marriott Marquis & Marina. Tickets are $22 each, and there is a limit of 2 tickets per panel per order. However, there are only 200 seats in the room, so tickets often sell out within seconds! As usual, proceeds go to Operation Smile.

The first wave of tickets will go on sale starting at 6:00am PDT on July 2, 2015, and additional panels will go on sale in 15 minute increments through 7:15am PDT. As you can see, there are some gaps in the schedule. Other panels will go on sale starting July 8, 2015, and more panels will be announced as we get closer to the event, and possibly during as well. Last year, panels started as early as 9:00am, so expect each day to be packed with Conversations for a Cause panels from morning to night! [UPDATE 7/6/15] Sales on the new wave of panels have been moved up to July 6 at 6:00pm PDT!

If you aren’t able to score tickets to any of the panels, don’t worry, as they will all be streaming live at IGN.com, the IGN YouTube channel, and the Nerd HQ app!
