Meet The Directors

Meet the duo shaking up the comic con scene:

Young entrepreneurs Steven Sweeting and Lauren Chappelow are putting customer service and fun right at the heart of their version of comic con.

With entire careers built around top-tier customer care, they see everything through the eyes of the guest. Driven by fresh energy and a fan-first mindset, Steven and Lauren are on a mission to re-vamp the comic con world with creative, exciting ideas that go beyond the usual. Think shorter queues, friendlier vibes, surprise interactive moments, and experiences built for superfans and first-timers alike.

They’re both passionate about all things geeky too — Steven’s a die-hard Star Wars & Marvel fan, while Lauren lives and breathes Disney. That love shapes their vision: a con where every guest feels like the main character. Where cosplay contests meet top-tier hospitality, panels feel like parties, and customer service isn’t an afterthought — it’s the headline act.

Steven + Lauren’s Comic Con — more fun, less fuss, and a whole lot of imagination.
