From the event runner:
It would be great if you could walk around and talk to our library patrons/convention goers about cosplay and your personal interests! We would also love if you joined our cosplay parade at 12, it's brief and open to the public.

I checked their website and the have a Maker Studio. I reached out to the event runner for more information and will update this thread as needed.
