>the lack of japanese brands at this convention apart from triple fortune
KOKOkim is Japanese (but probably not what you meant by "brand"). It's only their second year, so hopefully with support and feedback they can bring over bigger lolita brands. Tokyo Rebel is so close, I don't know why they don't partner with them they way they did with Harajuku Hearts.

As for panels, lolitas are not exactly known for creating content. Modern lolita culture is consumerist rather than creative, so it is unsurprising that few lolitas stepped up while the steampunks (a fashion run on DIY spirit) got a million panels.
