It's time for Chicago's C2E2 2023. And yes, Popverse will be there.

C2E2 2023 will take place Friday Mar 31, 2023 through Sunday, April 2, 2023 at the absolutely gorgeous McCormick Place. Although it's still a while until the show begins, we have confirmed some big guests including the likes of Tom Welling and Ashley Eckstein.

Founded in 2010 with roughly 20,000-30,000 attendees, the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo has grown to one of the biggest comics conventions in the United States, boasting attendance numbers of 90,000 guests pre-pandemic.

Popverse will be visiting Chicago to cover C2E2 with livestreams of the biggest panels, interviews with top talent, reports of our favorite talks, and the best-in-class reporting on the news and notes that come out of an event this size.

As with New York Comic Con, C2E2, and ECCC in 2022 (and ECCC in 2023!), Popverse will be filming (and in some cases livestreaming) panels from the biggest stages of C2E2 2023.

You can watch these livestreams and panel recordings of these panels by becoming a Popverse member at the 'Fan' level (or higher) or buying a C2E2 2023 digital ticket. The C2E2 digital ticket gives you access to all the panels filmed at C2E2 2023, as well as access to all the great members-only content on Popverse for 30 days. The annual Popverse membership includes live video panels from upcoming shows such as MCM London Comic Con and the epic New York Comic Con.

Here's a schedule of the C2E2 2023 panels Popverse will be livestreaming. Look for more to be added as the event gets closer:
