San Diego, CA ★ September 11-13, 2026

Jem and the Holograms turns 41 this year —

and we're throwing the most outrageous celebration this fandom has ever seen.

JemCon is the only fan convention in the world dedicated to Jem and the Holograms, and we've been bringing this community together for 21 years across 14 states and 3 countries. This September, we're expecting 200+ attendees for a full weekend of voice actor appearances, a drag show, rock fashion runway competition, cosplay pageant, charity auction, panels, vendors, and more.

We're looking for brand partners who want to get in front of a passionate, highly engaged audience of adult collectors, creatives, and pop-culture fans who take what they love seriously.

We have four sponsorship tiers — there's something for every budget and every brand.

"She's got the magic of a love divine..."
Prize Donation · 1–5 Physical Items
Named for the Starlight Girls, the young dreamers at the heart of the Jem story. This entry-level tier is for brands who want real impact without a big cash commitment. Donate 1–5 physical items and we'll place them directly into fan hands as prizes for our cosplay pageant, rock fashion runway, songwriting contest, or fan fiction competition — or as lots in our charity auction benefiting The San Diego LGBT Community Center
IDEAL FOR:
Small businesses, indie brands, artists, makers, and anyone who wants their product celebrated in front of deeply passionate fans.
WHAT YOU GET IN RETURN
- Mentioned by name in the official convention program

"Jem is my name, no one else is the same..."
Swag Bag Donation · 50–200+ Items
Like the Holograms themselves, you're going into every room, every bag, every hand. This tier puts your product directly into the swag bags that every registered JemCon guest receives on arrival. 200+ bags packed with goodies that fans will dig through like it's Christmas morning. Donate 50–200+ units — samples, full-size items, branded merch, stickers, zines, whatever you've got — and every fan goes home knowing your name.
IDEAL FOR:
Beauty brands, lifestyle products, indie publishers, snack companies, sticker artists; anyone wanting mass-reach with a targeted, niche audience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every sponsorship tier comes with real, tangible benefits — social media coverage, newsletter features, visibility in our official convention program, and more.

Nope! Our entry-level Starlight tier and the Hologram tier are product donations, no cash required.

Absolutely, and we'd love to talk. JemCon hosts Roxy Tart and Nick Romero were both cast members in the 2015 film and have been two of its most vocal supporters within the fandom ever since. If your brand was part of that film's world, this feels like a natural reunion. Reach out directly.
