For another thing, if it's a genre con, it's always awkwardly "... in YA SF/F", instead of just "in YA". And some of the interesting things about the YA genre only emerge when you look at it as a complete genre, not just the SF and fantasy parts of it.
... admittedly, usually it ends up being about all YA, but the speciality of most of the panelists is usually SF or fantasy, so the all-YA part suffers.
