Our 2026 Guest Speaker Series is Now Taking Applications

If you have a topic you are versed in and want to share your knowledge and experience with our crowds, just fill out our online application.

We will carefully go through the applications this spring and choose the most interesting topics from the most qualified speakers we can find. Originality and weirdness is what we are looking for. If your topic happens to be a “hands-on” type experience, then we can work with you separately in our classroom area. We will consider just about any topic dealing with the horror and paranormal!

Our Guest Speakers are NOT booked as celebrity guests. No allowances are available for travel or lodging.
Free or discounted booth space may be made available in non-secured areas of the convention center to approved speakers if space allows.
Processing Time: Applications will be reviewed, and you will receive an email from us by June 1st notifying you of your selection status. If you do not receive an email by June 1st, you may contact us at [email protected].
Application Coverage: Each approved application is valid for you and one additional guest.
Pass Access: Your speaker pass is VIP level access. However, it does NOT include an attendee VIP swag bag, line skips, or merchandise. It does grant you early access to the convention floor (one hour before general entry), an invitation to appear during our “Black Carpet” event on Friday, and entry to the VIP party on Saturday.
