Cos-Ability: Cosplaying While Disabled
Sunday March 29, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm PDT
Creating cosplays and attending cons can be as fun and exciting as they are stressful and exhausting, and those stressors are amplified when working with a disability. This panel features cosplayers who create, compete, and volunteer while working with mental or physical disabilities. The discussion explores the crafting techniques they use to build, how they pattern and create to accommodate themselves, and how they navigate cons with their varying abilities.

Breaking and Rebuilding Your Personal Brand
Sunday March 29, 2026 4:00pm - 5:00pm PDT
Being a content creator involves building a personal brand, whether developed with intention or through the work shared with audiences. There are verbal, nonverbal, visual, auditory, and other factors that identify "you" as "you" to fans. But what happens when a personal brand is not serving those goals as well as it could, or when a rebrand would better support a current content direction? Host Jimmy Arias and panelists Hawkilles (streamer and content creator), MagicalBlackGirlAlia (cosplayer and content creator), Colin K. Bass (marketing director and content creator), Mitch Narito (actor and comedian, The Good Place), and Ana Voltage (podcast host and content creator) discuss the steps of tweaking or rebuilding a content creator brand, the reassessment process for understanding a rebrand, and strategies to better represent a brand to potential opportunities.
