Comic Cons and the Future of Fandom (Palm A)

If you've been to conventions other than Comic Fest, you might notice that these events are changing dramatically, becoming bigger, more diverse, and focused on a wider swath of popular culture. Rob Salkowitz (Comic-Con and the Business of Pop Culture, Forbes) has been sifting through the data and presents an eye-opening picture of what's going on. Then, he'll be joined by special guest David Glanzer (VP of Marketing and Strategy, Comic-Con International) for a rare inside look at the challenges and opportunities of growth in the fan convention space. David Glanzer, Rob Salkowitz

anyone planing on going to this?  I'd ***LOVE*** to hear what was said!

Please, please reach out- we can talk an easy way to get you set up to record it!

eta: just audio- it's much easier & takes up way less space

I'm going, but as of now I might be volunteering to do a/v during the con, so it's unclear when my free time will be to attend panels for my own pleasure at the moment.

Yes we do!

Does San Diego need both San Diego Comic-Con and San Diego Comic Fest?

PLEASE NOTE: We have been informed that some people have been having problems ordering tickets online. We are as yet uncertain as to whether the problem is from Brown Paper Tickets (our ticket processor) or PayPal (our credit card processor). If you have tried and been unable to order a four-day pass online and would like to attend the Friday-night reception, come to the Fest Friday and we will take care of things on site. If you were trying to purchase a one-day ticket or other type of ticket, you can do so at the door starting Saturday morning at 9:00 am.

If someone could do a back issue comic vendor booth count for me, that would be great.  I went to this show the first 2 years and it was only 5 of those booths each time, so I never went back given the ~$20 admission fee.

I'm the dollar bins shopper.  :). By the pound also works (which is equivalent to quarter bins, by the way.)

I had a chance to go to the SD Comic-Fest on Saturday, the 18th and had a great time - ran into some friends I hadn't seen in several years -  this was a great small-con experience, including the dealer room - (looked like about 1,500 or so attendees) will definitely go again - next time, I would like to attend all the three+ days! For those that live in San Diego - put this one on your list - usually in the Feb time frame.

Hi Chris!

Sorry for the late reply! I managed to visit the Exhibit Hall yesterday (more like a room :P) to visit my buddy, artist Eric Ninaltowski's booth and I counted about 10 comic book vendors.

Here you go! I stayed for both of Rob's panels that were back to back so I uploaded both to YouTube for you before heading to work:
