566: San Diego Comic-Con, Rebel Scum Con & More: Convention Season Begins! w/ Spencer Jawitz


Convention season is about to jump into lightspeed, and we're getting ready for one of the busiest times of the year! Joining us is our friend Spencer Jawitz from the Virtual Cantina Network to talk about everything that goes into making fan conventions unforgettable.

Ever wonder what it takes to book celebrity guests or organize a successful convention? Spencer pulls back the curtain on the realities of convention planning, from budgeting and logistics to building relationships with guests and creating memorable experiences for fans. We discuss the many lessons he's learned behind the scenes while planning fan events.

We also preview the exciting months ahead, including San Diego Comic-Con, Rebel Scum Con 3, and Boonta Eve Special Edition Texas 2, with a look at what attendees can expect and offering advice for anyone attending their very first convention.
