megaconorlando.com<\/a>, and follow MEGACON on social media. <\/p>\n\u201cThe website is critical,\u201d Moise said. \u201cWe post updates not just about celebrities but also the programming schedule, floor plan and more. Some things come through at the last minute, so subscribing to our channels is the best way to not miss anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

For first-timers and returning attendees, Moise offered advice. \u201cCostumes are optional, but cosplay is a great way to celebrate characters and connect with fellow fans. If you are not into cosplay, you are more than welcome to come out of costume and just celebrate that way. The website is your roadmap. Explore every inch before you get there to build a plan. There is so much to see and do that without a plan, you might miss something you really wish you had caught.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cosplay will be a major highlight again this year, with the Masters of Cosplay Grand Finale taking place at MEGACON. \u201cWe are doing qualifiers across North America, culminating in the final cosplay top at MEGACON,\u201d Moise explained. \u201cThis is the first time we are doing the big ceremony here, bringing the best of the best for one final judging. It is always a banner event.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moise emphasized the importance of community at MEGACON. \u201cThis is truly about celebrating pop culture with like-minded people who are there to have fun. Everyone is welcome. It is a place for all ages and fandoms to come together and have an awesome weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked about his favorite part of MEGACON, Moise said, \u201cFor me, it is like a massive jigsaw puzzle putting it all together. One of the most exciting moments is Thursday when the doors open and 99% of the puzzle pieces are in place. It is a relief but also hugely exciting because it is such a big event for fans, exhibitors and the convention center. Seeing fans meet their heroes is extraordinary. It can be electric and very moving.\u201d<\/p>\n
He concluded with a promise for attendees. \u201cYou will walk away feeling a sense of togetherness. We went through a couple of years where we could not come together, and nothing replaces that feeling. This is about community, sharing a love for passionate fandom and feeling truly fulfilled by a great weekend of celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n
