Meetups are a popular item at many conferences, also going by the name “birds of a feather.” Meetups are usually held in the panic room, the hospitality suite, poolside, or at the bar or restaurant.

Any interest related to costuming can be a meetup. Past topics have included: Knitting, Harry Potter, Firefly, Star Trek, Greater Bay Area Costumers, Star Wars, crocheting, leatherwork, and more. Any topic that interests you in costuming can become a meetup.

We love that so many of our attendees plan Meetups at our event and we’d like to help promote them! If you are planning or have interest in a Meetup at Costume College, send us the information, and we’ll post the info on our social media pages!
