Returning to Dragon Con as an Attending Pro for 2025

Returning to Dragon Con as an Attending Pro for 2025
Atlanta, GA – August 28 through September 1, 2025

Dragon Con 2025 AP Announcement

With a panel to the left and a party to the right, we’re gonna do Dragon Con again!

I am pleased to be selected as an Attending Professional for Dragon Con 2025. This will be my seventeenth year at the con (participating in various capacities since 2009) and my eighth year as an AP (since 2016, excluding 2020 and 2023). Dragon Con is a pop culture convention spanning five days and hundreds of programming hours and countless fan passions. It is one of the largest pop culture conventions in the world, and it remains a ton of fun both as an attendee and as a contributor.

From Dragon Con Newbies events to sci-fi classics, modern SF and fantasy, military SF, and so much more, I’m excited to see what 2025 brings.

Dragon Con takes place in Atlanta, GA during Labor Day weekend. For more information, visit the official site. For more information about Dragon Con Newbies, visit the group on Facebook.

253 days until Dragon Con.

Dragon Con Report 2024 #12: Post Con Blues
December 11, 2024

One of the ways that I like to prep for Dragon Con is by listening to the Dragon Con Report podcast. Brought to you by the ESO Network, the podcast is a monthly discussion on all things Dragon Con that counts down to the big event over Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, Georgia.

The show is hosted by Michael Gordon, Jennifer Schleusner, and Channing Sherman, and it delivers news, notes, tips, and tricks for newbies and veterans alike. The Dragon Con Newbies community has a great relationship with the show and the network.

In this final episode for the 2024 season, the team invites professor and social media muse Tyra Burton and licensed mental health and social work professional Amy Mikulski to discuss the ways that we can ease the post-con let down. We ride high during the con, but what happens when the excitement and energy come down? How do we deal with that? Tune in and find ways to get through the blues together.


The show can be found in video form on YouTube and in audio on the official website and wherever fine podcasts are fed. The Dragon Con Report channels can be found on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. You can catch their shows live on those platforms or on demand on their website.

Culture on My Mind is inspired by the weekly Can’t Let It Go segment on the NPR Politics Podcast where each host brings one thing to the table that they just can’t stop thinking about.
