Services
Our typical format is that, based on the expected demographic of cosplayers who will attend an event, we will customise a schedule of presentations and workshops for you. These can be performed either on one day or over the course of a weekend, depending on your needs. These can also be delivered as simple talks or as more hands-on workshops, to suit your event.

COmmunity Zones / Cosplay Zones
We can co-ordinate a community zone for your event, with a line-up of cosplay speakers and workshops to entertain your attendees over the course of a single day or an entire weekend. In the last few years, we have amassed a network of fellow costume and prop-makers who can be on hand to deliver presentations alongside us. As well as stage talks, we can also organise displays areas so attendees can get up close and personal to our costumes and props.
Cosplay Competitions
We are also available to organise, host and judge cosplay competitions for conventions and events - just get in touch with us!
