The Excalibur Con Committee is made up entirely of volunteers dedicated to making a premier convention experience available to the Northland community and attracts new opportunities to the place we call home.

Excalibur Con hosts celebrity guests, artist talent, content creators, and local personalities in a variety of different ways. For more information, check out our Guest Talent info page.

Typically, our celebrity guests are happy to sign items that you bring from home. There may be an additional charge for certain items, and there may be specific items that some celebs are not willing to sign at all. We also suggest bringing cash as some celebrities may not take other forms of payment. Please do not bring any weapons for them to sign that would violate our prop weapon policy (available below).
