PUBLIC COMMUNICATION SKILLS WORKSHOP with MICAH PARKER
Communication is the bridge that allows us to connect and deliver value to our audience. But how do we build that bridge? We use our Voice, our Body language, and our presence to provide a captivating message to whoever is listening. Your voice and your ability to communicate are how the world perceives you. Improving your communication skills is the quickest way to elevate your status and move people with whatever message you want. Whether you work in corporate America, real estate, the legal system, service industry, education, or anything in between. Communication and public presentation are essential. Come and learn these skills from Micah Joe Parker, actor, convention host, and founder of E-Motion Performance Pro, an interactive program that teaches group fitness instructors the skills they need to deliver captivating classes to their clients. See you there! Limited to 25 people. A convention pass is required to attend.
Our Saturday night LIVE Celebration Concert has always been a highlight for our fellow TVD/Originals fans! Join Chase and house band MERCY MODE plus special guests for some great live entertainment! All guest participants are tentative until show time.
The concert is complimentary for GOLD, SILVER and COPPER WEEKEND patrons -- and for all others, a la carte tickets are only $35!
Read more about the concert policies here!
Note: Convention admission passes are not required to purchase a concert ticket or attend the concert, but the concert is an evening event ONLY and the ticket does NOT include an admission pass for daytime programming. This event is complimentary for Gold, Silver and Copper Weekend Patrons but the first rows will be removed for standing so weekend pass holders do NOT keep their daytime reserved seats for this event. There will be room to sit in the back for those that prefer to, and the show is still quite visible and enjoyable.
SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKEUP CLASS with VICTORIA RIGHTHAND
Did you even wonder how vampires get their eyes? Or how a werewolf bite is created? In this special effects makeup class, we will explore all of the tricks of movie magic. Each class will be tailored specifically for a Vampire Diaries/Originals/Legacies effect from your favorite show. No supplies or experience needed. A volunteer will be selected each class to be our model (please note all allergies must be discussed before you may be selected). For one hour, you will learn a whole new skill for any cosplay or Halloween look. Come join us!
Meet your makeup artist: My name is Victoria Righthand! I am a licensed esthetician who has been working in beauty and special effects makeup for 10 years.

Read more about our KARAOKE EVENT!
Since this is a FREE EVENT, you do not keep your same seats you had during the day as the first few rows are removed. There will be seats in the back if you prefer to sit. If you have a VIP pass or special needs, please come to the front of the line.
NOTE: If you choose to stand in line early to be up front, you may only hold one additional place until the doors open. Once the doors open and if your companion is not there, there is no guarantee there will be room left in the front. Although these are FREE events and you do not need a convention pass to attend, please be aware that there is still a limited capacity at each venue. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and space may be filled to capacity.

These are a great memento of the convention and they’re suitable for framing, gifting, or even having autographed throughout the rest of your convention experience!

Giving Gifts to Celebrities
We know that many fans like to give gifts to our celebrity guests and we feel this is a lovely gesture. However, it's impossible to accommodate the large amounts of gifts and we do not have an adequate system to accept them at the many different venues. Please refrain from bringing gifts to the convention.
Instead, we are offering the following addresses for fans to send gifts to the celebrities:
Attn: Ian Somerhalder or Paul Wesley
c/o ICM Partners
10250 Constellation Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90067
