June 2, 2026·42 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Join us for a special Behind the Geeks conversation with the team behind YetiCon, one of Ontario’s most unique convention experiences. We sit down with Managing Director Brandon Forder, Creative Director Angela Forder, and Chief Strategy Officer of Cosplay & Social Community Saphiira.Cosplay to discuss stepping into leadership roles at YetiCon, what makes the event so special, and how they’re balancing tradition while helping shape its future. We also dive into cosplay culture, the sense of community that conventions create, first cosplay memories, and what attendees can look forward to at this year’s event at Blue Mountain.  Whether you’re a longtime convention-goer, an avid cosplayer, or simply curious about what makes YetiCon such a beloved destination, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at the people helping bring it all together. YetiCon takes place at Blue Mountain Village from June 19–21, 2026. Learn more at YetiConOfficial.ca. Join the YetiCon Discord to connect with fellow attendees, cosplayers, and community members before the convention begins. Be sure to follow Saphiira.Cosplay for cosplay inspiration, convention coverage, and community updates.
