Amy Poehler to join the bbcon 2020 Virtual mainstage!

“I don’t want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. I want to be around people that dream and support and do things.”

We’re ecstatic to announce that actress, director, producer, bestselling author, and humanitarian Amy Poehler will join bbcon 2020 Virtual, October 6–8.


Poehler charmed audiences with her unwavering sense of civic duty on Parks and Recreation, portrayed unforgettable recurring characters on Saturday Night Live, and recently directed a new feature film, Moxie, while serving as co-creator, executive producer, lead voice, or cohost on several television series.

Within and beyond her expansive creative roles, she underscores the values of individualism and kindness, serving as an ambassador for the Worldwide Orphans Foundation and playing an active role in women’s issues. She cofounded and produces the award-winning online community “Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls,” which features real girls changing the world by being themselves.
We’re also thrilled to announce more bbcon mainstage speakers, including:
