I wouldn't think so unless you organize one.

Thats the toughest thing about putting together something at say SDCC or the big apple con. It's not something you can throw together....There's so much work involved in getting the guests to take time away from there convention schedual and coming to participate in a Valiant panel or any panel in fact.

They are SO far all fan driven and put together, Unless Valiant Ent. plans on doing there own version next year I'll continue to put something together at SDCC even though it's taken all the fun out of SDCC for me in many ways...

hauling around 50 copies of some book to get past Valiant/acclaim creators to sign for you guys and the panel in general is not easy and it's very time consuming...

But thats what I LOVE doing I'm in it because I'm that passionate about Valiant and the characters. Thats why Valiant is unique there isn't a Defiant or Ultraverse or even an Image FAN panel at any conventions...ONLY Valiant because we care.

If you want to do a panel at Chicago start working NOW for it next year...

I think Brian is right on about this. I saw first hand a couple of times in NYC what John (svair) went through trying to get the pro's to the panels and it really isn't that easy as they have other commitments, plus, these guys are making a living at their tables doing sketches and the like with only a certain amount of time to get them done. Also, some of the guys such as Rags and Sean have commitments with their current publishers that come first. Both of them have been gracious enough to be present at panels I have attended.
