SkasdiCon could not be this bold, fierce or fiesty without you. Sponsorship opportunities are now open for 2026.
Welcome to SkasdiCon
a showcase of Indigenous influence on pop culture
While there’s no word quite like “Skasdi” in English, it conveys pride, impressiveness, awesomeness, fierceness and feistiness. One Cherokee word can describe so many of the comic book, movie and video game characters, created by artists and celebrated by cosplayers, that you can find at comic conventions. From this, SkasdiCon was born!
Here, guests can attend Indigenous panel discussions, view exclusive screenings, meet Indigenous creators, and enjoy the family-friendly cosplay competition.
You came, you saw — you Skasdi! Special thanks to our guests, judges, panelists and a legendary crowd who made SkasdiCon an action-packed adventure. We can’t wait to show you all that’s next!
