'The Philip DeFranco Show', is a 5 day-a-week news and culture show that reaches an audience of almost 7 million daily, and has garnered over 2 billion lifetime views. His signature satirical tone matched with his opinionated, yet fair and unbiased take on how he presents the news, current events, and pop culture to his audience and the conversations his show has started over the years, has brought vital information and important discussion to a whole new generation.

SungWon Cho (aka ProZD) is a voice actor. He also likes to make skits and whatever else he feels like on YouTube. You can hear him in Judgement, A Hat in Time, Red vs Blue, Radiant, Nomad of Nowhere, Monster Prom, Camp Camp, Battlerite, Apotheon, Unavowed, and more. He also played Detective Joe Furuya in RocketJump and Crunchyroll's Anime Crimes Division.

This year's event will include panels around Rooster Teeth's biggest shows and personalities including gen:LOCK, The Rooster Teeth Podcast, RWBY, Achievement Hunter, Camp Camp, Arizona Circle and more.
