What a whirlwind of a weekend~
From soldering to silk painting, weathering to wig wrangling, and photography to Powerpoint presentations, this Cosplay America was a wealth of learning, laughing, and loving this thing we call cosplay. And none of it would be possible without YOU.

To all our incredible guests who spent tireless hours preparing the best instructive panels and workshops, and to each and every attendee who came from near and far to take a leap of faith in trusting us in guiding their foray into new and advanced media and methods, we offer the most heartfelt "THANK YOU.'

Thank you for your time, effort, and willingness to learn and grow with us. Thank you for making Cosplay America 2026 the best one yet. While we all take a much-deserved rest, we hope you'll join us in reflecting on some of our favorite moments from the weekend. And trust that we're already planning on making Cosplay America 2027 even better...
