Dream Con has built a reputation for bringing together some of the biggest names in gaming, anime, entertainment, and internet culture, and 2026 may be one of its most stacked lineups yet. From legendary voice actors to creators who have dominated YouTube, this year’s guest list has something for everyone.
If you’re trying to figure out how to spend your weekend, here are five guests, in no particular order, you should make time to see while you’re at Dream Con.
Berleezy
If you’ve spent any time on YouTube, chances are you’ve laughed at a Berleezy video.
Known for his hilarious gameplay videos, iconic roasts, and energetic personality, Berleezy has built one of the most loyal communities in gaming. Whether he’s playing horror games or making everyone in the room laugh during a panel, his appearances are always packed with energy. If you’re looking for laughs, unforgettable audience interactions, and plenty of viral moments, Berleezy belongs at the top of your schedule. Get to his talk early because his lines be loooooong.
Issa Rae
One of the biggest surprises on this year’s lineup is award-winning writer, producer, and actress Issa Rae.
Best known for creating and starring in Insecure while also appearing in blockbuster films like Barbie and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Issa Rae is making her first-ever convention speaking appearance at Dream Con. That’s a rare opportunity fans won’t want to miss. We got to see her at another event last year, and she really is funny and a treat.
Phil LaMarr
Even if you don’t recognize the name immediately, you’ve definitely heard the voice.
Phil LaMarr has voiced countless fan-favorite characters across anime, cartoons, and video games, including Samurai Jack, Green Lantern from Justice League, Hermes Conrad in Futurama, and Lucan in Invincible.  His career spans decades and has shaped some of pop culture’s most memorable characters. Whether you’re an animation fan or really into voice acting, seeing Phil LaMarr in person is a must.  Side Note I totally forgot he did the voice of Cornell from The Jellies. If you have not seen The Jellies, it’s worth checking out.
King Vader
King Vader helped redefine what anime inspired comedy could look like on YouTube, and he is an OG guest at Dream Con.
He puts so much time and effort into his cinematic skits, anime recreations, and hilarious parodies that have earned him millions of followers and made him one of the internet’s most recognizable creators. He really is the GOAT. We met him in person at the very first Dream Con in Waco, Texas. He was a great person, watching him grow has been an amazing journey.
Cree Summer
Few voice actors have had the impact on the culture as Cree Summer.
She has voiced a lot of our childhood. For decades, she’s brought unforgettable characters to life in animation and television, with credits including Rugrats, Codename: Kids Next Door, and many more. You might even remember her from the hit show Abbott Elementary. Her voice is iconic, and you definitely should take the time to go see her.
Bonus Pick:
All Points Podcast
If you’re looking for a panel that’s equal parts hilarious, unpredictable, and packed with pop culture takes, make some time for the All Points Podcast.
Known for their laid-back chemistry and conversations covering everything from anime and gaming to music, sports, internet culture, and the latest trending topics, the crew has built a loyal following by simply being themselves. If you’ve never listened before, Dream Con is the perfect opportunity to see them live. Expect plenty of laughs, audience interaction, and maybe even a few hot takes that spark conversations long after the panel ends. Sometimes the best convention memories come from discovering a creator you didn’t know before you walked through the doors. The All Points Podcast just might be one of those discoveries.
Dream Con’s guest lineup is loaded with talent, so narrowing it down to just five wasn’t easy. If your schedule allows, try to see and meet as many YouTubers, creators, and panelists as possible.
The best part about Dream Con isn’t just meeting your favorite creators; it’s discovering new ones. Whether you’re there for gaming, anime, cosplay, film, voice acting, or internet culture, every panel offers a chance to learn something new, laugh a little harder, and make memories with fellow fans.
So charge your phone, clear some space on your camera roll, and start planning your schedule now. These guests are sure to draw a crowd, and you’ll want a front-row seat when the fun begins.
