Our First Booth at Awesomecon—And What a Weekend It Was!

AwesomeCon 2025 marked a major milestone for us—it was our first time ever having a booth at this event, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We were positioned inside the show’s buzzing Destination Cosplay area, surrounded by passionate fans, stunning costumes, and nonstop community energy. From the moment the floor opened, our booth became a hub for creativity, connection, and cosplay love.

Cosplayer Meet & Greet Hosted by Creative Cosplays

One of the biggest highlights of the weekend was hosting our very own Cosplayer Meet & Greet! We invited a lineup of incredibly talented creators to join us at the booth, meet fans, sign autographs, and take photos. Huge thanks to these amazing cosplayers who joined the celebration:

• @laneyfeni

• @the_googinator

• @num1xmncosplay

• @asmayday

• @joecoltoncosplay

• @joeyredhood.22

The turnout and energy were incredible—fans lined up to meet their favorites, pose for photos, and celebrate the cosplay scene.

Celebrity Guests, Panels, Vendors, and Nonstop Action

AwesomeCon’s show floor was packed wall-to-wall with vendors, artists, exhibits, and fan programming. Though we stayed close to our booth most of the weekend, the excitement was undeniable. Fans from every fandom had something to look forward to.

Celebrity appearances were another major draw this year, with a guest list that included:

• Simon Pegg

• Liv Tyler

• Orlando Bloom

• Sean Astin

• The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie cast

• The Blue’s Clues trio

• Plus a massive lineup of top-tier voice actors

Whether you were into fantasy, sci-fi, gaming, or animation, AwesomeCon delivered something for everyone.

Connecting with the Community, One Face at a Time

One of the most special moments of the weekend was seeing so many people who had already been featured in our magazine stop by the booth. They signed their issues, took photos in front of our banner, and shared what it meant to be published—turning digital love into real-world memories.

We also made new connections with creators and fans who were learning about Creative Cosplays Magazine for the first time. The support, excitement, and encouragement we felt from the community left us speechless.

Thank You, AwesomeCon!

From the incredible fans to the cosplayers, photographers, vendors, and staff—thank you for making our first booth experience so memorable. This was a big moment for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.

We’re already looking forward to coming back next year, and we can’t wait to grow this even further.
