We’re just a day away from Dragon Con 2025, and who better to help us prepare than Regina, Senior Director of Programming?

In this episode, Jon and Leigh discuss with Regina everything from App updates to self-care, blood drives to mental health, and charity to volunteers.

This year’s official partner is NAMI Georgia. Every dollar donated is matched by Dragon Con up to $150,000. Give at the charity booth in the Marriott or through QR codes around the con.

Regina also shares personal reflections on why kindness and community matter. Dragon Con isn’t just about panels, parties, or cosplay – it’s about finding your people.

Dragon Con is a family affair- and nowhere is that clearer than the Kids Track.

In this episode, Jon and Leigh sit down with track director Jonathan to explore the wide range of programming designed for families. Highlights include:

Arts & crafts, storytelling, board game design workshops, and a post-parade play area for little ones to burn off energy. The beloved Fort-Building Contest, a Family Dance Party, and the annual Character Encounters.

Special Partners like Dad’s Garage Improv brings family-friendly shows and workshops, the Dragon Con Theater Lovers Group leads kids in musical theater activities, and the Children’s Museum of Atlanta hosts a Science Extravaganza.

There are also discussions on parenting tough topics, fan fiction & safe browsing, and raising geeky kids in today’s digital world.

Located in the Hyatt International Tower, the track offers a welcoming hub for families who want to make Dragon Con a true multigenerational event.
