Chuck Huber, previously announced, will not be able to attend in 2014 due to a work obligation, however he is expected to attend Meta Con in Minneapolis in October.

Jad Saxton is a voice and stage actress, best known for her work with FUNimation Entertainment in Wolf Children (Yuki), Michiko & Hachin (Hatchin), Fairy Tail (Carla), Last Exile -Fam, The Silver Wing- (Fam), EUREKA SEVEN AO (Elena Peoples), Tenchi Muyo!: War on Geminar (Lashara Earth), Steins;Gate (Faris Nyannyan), Mass Effect: Paragon Lost (April), Is This a Zombie?

When she isn't voicing toons, she can be seen playing on stage at various theaters throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth region and currently in the National Touring production of Stuart Little. Jad loves the wisdom and wit of Dr. Seuss and A.A. Milene, the melodic fantasy of The Beatles, tattoos (though she only has 3 – one is a Beatles lyric), the majesty of whales, gnomes, pandas, foxes, dinosaurs, and above all – anything Harry Potter related (she even named her cat Granger aka Grangie-the-poof)!
