WONDERCON ANAHEIM 2019 TOUCAN TIPS! #03: General Information About Attending WCA Programming

Every year, we aspire to create the best programming schedule possible for attendees, and this year, WonderCon Anaheim brings you returning favorites in comics and pop culture as well as new creators, artists, films, and TV series to explore and discover.

Our complete programming schedule is coming (VERY!) soon and we want to thank you for helping make WonderCon the amazing convention it’s become. To make sure you have the best experience this year, please take the time to review the following guidelines:

Programming rooms are not cleared between panels


The lines in the lobby are for the rooms and not for individual panels

To ensure you have a seat for a later panel you want to see, go inside the room rather than waiting in the lobby. You might find something new on the stage to add to your fandom


Mark the panels you’re interested in on the app or online

Download the Comic-Con app for the most up-to-date information on panels (WonderCon 2019 update coming soon!), or utilize MySched on our website to make your own personalized program and events schedule.


Keep panel rooms clean of trash

You can bring food and drink into the programming rooms, but please make sure to take your trash with you when you leave.


Do not crowd around the stage in panel rooms

It’s okay to get excited for panels and panelists, but do not attempt to walk up to the stage after the panel. Panelists are prohibited from signing things or giving away placards. We have to prepare the stage for the next panel.

Here are some additional tips for attending programs at WonderCon Anaheim 2019:

Go see a panel you hadn’t planned on attending

WonderCon Anaheim is a great place for exploration and trying new things, so we encourage you to go see something you hadn’t planned on. Take advantage of the fact that we don’t clear programming rooms after each panel, and attend a panel before or after the one you have in mind. You might find a new favorite!


Move into the row as far as you can

Most programming rooms fill up for each event, so please move all the way into the row and don’t leave any empty seats. Scooch down and make room for others.


Ask about bathroom passes

Some programming rooms have them, others don’t! It’s a good idea to be aware of this in case you’re planning to spend most of the day in a certain programming room.


Be courteous to your neighbors

We’re all there for the same reason! It’s best to be nice and remember that we’re all trying to enjoy ourselves and the event. Plus, you might just make a new friend!


Wear your badge at all times

Make sure to display your badge proudly so security can see it. Please remember that all event and program rooms have limited capacity as set by the fire marshal. Even though your badge is needed to get into all events, it does not guarantee access to any event if the venue has reached its capacity.


Don’t leave right at 7:00 PM when the Exhibit Hall closes

Programming continues late on Friday and Saturday nights. Be sure to review the Programming Schedule when it's released to plan ahead. WonderCon Anaheim doesn't stop when the Exhibit Hall closes!


Don’t stand (or run!) in the programming rooms

Chances are if you’re standing in front of your seat, instead of sitting in it, you’re negatively impacting the experience of the people around you. Please take a seat. Also, remember there is no running in the programming rooms, lobby, Exhibit Hall, or outside the Anaheim Convention Center.


Don’t sit in reserved seats

Certain seats are reserved for a reason and will be clearly marked. Please avoid sitting in them, as you’ll be asked to relocate to a different seat anyway.


Don’t bring strollers into the programming rooms

While we recognize how handy strollers are, they can also be a safety hazard. We ask you to not bring strollers into the programming rooms … By Fire Marshal orders, they’re not permitted. For your convenience, there is stroller parking provided at the Anaheim Convention Center.

We can’t wait to show you all that we have in store for this year. The WonderCon Anaheim 2019 Programming Schedule is coming SOON … check back for complete info!

WONDERCON ANAHEIM 2019 TOUCAN TIPS! #04: Group Panels Featuring Our Special Guests!

As you’re getting ready for WonderCon Anaheim 2019—and creating your game plan for seeing the most guests and panels—don’t forget about our group panels featuring our special guests. We know you’re excited to see them in their individual spotlight panels, but it’s a whole new level of fandom geekiness when you see several amazing creators come together in a room to discuss a specific topic. See them weigh in on important issues like “What Is the Best Super Power?” Or “Our Favorite Villains and Why We Love Them” (or love to hate them). And that’s just Friday!

On Saturday, you can come see our guests debate “Costumes for Caped Crusaders: Function Versus Fashion.” Finish off WonderCon on Sunday by attending “The Entrepreneurial Spirit in Comics,” where established creators talk about the ins and outs of the comic industry and all its extensions, and then stick around to hear from some experts in “Magical Comics for Kids.”

Here’s a sneak peek at some of these group panels featuring our special guests … look for the complete WonderCon Anaheim 2019 Programming Schedule coming (VERY!) soon!

Friday, March 29

2:30–3:30 What Is the Best Superpower?—Flight? Invisibility? Super strength? Everyone at one point in time has sat around their living room, debating which one is best. Now hear the opinion of the experts! Do these comic creators know the answer? Is there truly a right answer? Moderator Gabe Carrasco (Aspen Comics managing editor) gets to the truth with Vita Ayala (Supergirl), Amy Chu (Red Sonja), Tom King (Batman), Liam Sharp (Wonder Woman), and Scott Snyder (Batman). Room 213AB

5:30–6:30 Our Favorite Villains—They may be killers, but readers often find themselves rooting for the villains anyway. What makes these hardened criminals worthy of adoration? Find out from the creators who bring them to life. Moderator Mark Waid (Daredevil) discusses villainous antics with WonderCon special guests Greg Capullo (Batman), Donny Cates (Venom), Gerry Duggan (Deadpool), Joëlle Jones (Lady Killer), and Tim Sale (Daredevil). Room 213AB

Saturday, March 30

2:30–3:30 Costumes for Caped Crusaders: Fashion Versus Function—Geeky fashion expert Ashley Eckstein (Her Universe) moderates a panel on one of comics’ most burning questions, when it comes to superhero fashions, which is more important, fashion or function? WonderCon Anaheim special guests Jen Bartel (Blackbird), Joëlle Jones (Lady Killer), Tula Lotay (Supreme: Blue Rose), and Brian Stelfreeze (Back Panther) share their expertise on what makes a great costume. Room 213AB

Sunday, March 31

10:30–11:30 The Entrepreneurial Spirit in Comics—Love all things comics? Love paying your bills too? What opportunities are out there for comics creators and comics lovers? Moderator Mark Waid (Daredevil) talks to WonderCon Anaheim special guests Julie Benson (Batgirl and the Birds of Prey), Shawna Benson (Green Arrow), Phil LaMarr (Samurai Jack), Ryan Meinerding (head of visual development, Marvel Studios), and Liam Sharp (Wonder Woman) about the ins and outs of the comics biz and all its extensions. Room 208

12:30–1:30 Magical Comics for Kids—As a kid, everything is magical, and magic is believable. Bringing magic to life expands young minds, and these comics creators are experts at sprinkling that fairy dust. Mary Bellamy (Faux Facts and Ah Heck!!), Alina Chau (The Nian Monster), and WonderCon special guests Katie Cook (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic), Greg Pak (The Princess Who Saved Herself), and Dana Simpson (Phoebe and Her Unicorn) share their tips and tricks and a little hint of magic. Room 208

With the schedule out, what panels or booths/exhibitors/artists are you most excited to check out this year? I think the programming schedule and the amount of footage being brought to screen is wonderful compared to recent years!
