Desi Roy

Merchandise Coordinator

Office professional by day; artist and video game lover by night, Desi discovered her love of conventions in 2016 and has been going ever since.

She became an invaluable member of our team after a great run as a volunteer at our inaugural event!

As our Merchandise Coordinator, Desi makes sure that we’ve got plenty of cool Blerdcon swag to provide you with at the convention.

Desi also a member of the programming and signage teams!

Carmen Shamwell

Director of Operations, Volunteer Coordinator, & Social Media Manager

Carmen is a life-long nerd and has been attending Cons since 2013. She has moderated panels, announced for cosplay contests, and currently co-runs the Twitter & Instagram accounts for the Trekoff Podcast & Blerdcon.

Carmen is also a full-time staffer for BLERDCON, handling Operations as well as their Volunteers. Carmen is an avid reader of fantasy & sci-fo novels, a consumer of DC Comics & Marvel media in all formats, and a die-hard fan of both Star Trek & Star Wars, but don’t ask her to choose which one she likes better, unless you wish to suffer a quick and painful death.
