Imaginarium 2026 is proud to announce the addition of four new Workshops to our programming! There will be over 135 panels and workshops hosted in our 13th year, so make sure to check back regularly on our official site to see all new additions!
The titles, presenters, and descriptions for these new programming additions are as follows:
New Workshops Added:
Ask The Agent: Part I: Presenter – Cherry Weiner. Take the guesswork out of the query process! This dynamic session provides a unique platform to directly engage with a literary agent. Ask your most pressing questions about submissions, agent-author relationships, what makes a manuscript stand out, and more. Gain firsthand knowledge and valuable feedback to elevate your publishing aspirations. (2 hrs)
Ask The Agent: Part II: Presenter – Cherry Weiner. A round-up session to get answers to questions that you may have discovered you wanted to ask during the convention and did not get a chance to. Any time left over during this session will be filled in with agent Cherry Weiner’s stories of her journey as an agent, the authors she has met, and anything that might, again, raise questions. (90 min)
Pitch to an Agent Session: Presenter – Cherry Weiner. Ready to Pitch? Here is your chance to get your work in front of an industry professional. You have 3–5 minutes to make your mark. Come prepared with your best “elevator pitch” and get your manuscript noticed! Visit the Registration Counter to sign up. Slots vanish fast, so don’t wait! (2 hrs)
The Alchemy Framework: Presenter – Robert Thompson. Designed to help leaders and artist transform challenges into opportunities for innovation and growth. Drawing from storytelling, performance, and creative industries, it provides a structured pathway for integrating new technologies and creativity into your process without losing the human element.
