Fans of the content creation side of Magic: The Gathering who plan to head to Chicago next month are going to have a big weekend.
Organizers of the first MagicCon of 2025 have released the official "Who's Who at MagicCon: Chicago" Meet and Greet schedule, and it's a busy one -- including a few appearances from content creators we here at Commander's Herald know well.
Meet and Greets don't require any preregistration, but they are first come, first served and time can run out if the line is long. If missing out on a name on the following list would be disappointing, be sure to arrive early. These scheduled appearances will happen in two locations throughout the weekend - the Creator Central area and the Magic Meet & Greets room - so be sure to check the event map when you arrive to McCormick Place Lakeside Center on Friday, Feb. 21 for the first day of the event. The latter of the two rooms, the Magic Meet & Greets, is usually more contained and private, while the Creator Central area is on the main event floor.
