Hello everyone, and I'm back to report on my experience at Neurodiversity Comic Con! If you checked out my Hopp page in my Instagram and Twitter bios, I posted a link to the Neurodiversity Comic Con site to sign up for the event. On that page, all the exhibitors posted graphics of themselves for them to share on social media, including myself, which led to an official face reveal!
I didn't leave the event without getting a picture of myself at my table. Ultimately, it was a good time! It will be far from the last Comic Con I attend. If you missed out on the convention, I hope to see you at a future event!
After the convention, the Gillen Brewer Team sent out a statement to the exhibitors expressing their gratitude for our involvement in the event, which you can see below:
Thank you so much for being part of Neurodiversity Comic Con last Saturday! We were thrilled to have you join us and contribute to this unique celebration of neurodiverse characters, stories, and the creative talents of authors and artists in an inclusive, family-friendly environment. Your role as an exhibitor or activity host brought so much to the day, whether it was through engaging booths, hands-on workshops, or sensory-friendly spaces that helped create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for all. Thanks to you, attendees were able to make meaningful connections and experience the joy of storytelling and diversity. We are deeply grateful for your support and enthusiasm. Thank you for making this event so memorable—we look forward to partnering with you again in the future!
The Gillen Brewer Team also sent out their own pictures of the convention. Check them out below!
