Baby don't you wanna go? 

Alright, so none of the Popverse team can actually call Chicago our sweet home, but while we're at C2E2 2026, we damn well expect to feel like it. Yes, the Popverse crew is packing a bag and heading to the Windy City in less than a week as of this writing, and of all the things we're most excited to see, the deareast to our hearts is you, dear reader!

Should you be making the trek up to this year's Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, we'd love to have you pop by one of the many events that Popverse is leading. To that end, we've compiled this list of where you can find Popverse at C2E2 2026 - and though we know you'll be busy checking out all the incredible booths, artists, and panels for this year's con, we'd be honored if you stopped by!

Who from Popverse will be at C2E2 2026?

Heading to the Windy City this year for C2E2 are Popverse's Editor-in-Chief Chris Arrant, staff Video Producer Ashley V. Robinson, Video Producer Martin Vavra, and staff writers Jules Chin Greene and Grant DeArmitt (c'est moi!); give us a wave if you see us passing! Holding down the fort remotely (and with us in spirit) will be Popverse editor Graeme McMillan and contributing writer Joshua Lapin-Bertone.

Where can Popverse Superfans hang out at C2E2 2026?

At various points during this convention, you'll also find the onsite team hanging around the Popverse Superfan lounge. What's that? You haven't heard of the Superfan lounge yet? Well shoot, somebody should really have told you! Open every day of the convention for all of its operating hours, the Popverse Superfan lounge is a perfect place to charge your phone, sort your merch, reminisce about meeting your favorite voice actor, or just take a minute to relax - more details about the Popverse Superfan Lounge can be found here.

What panels will Popverse be hosting at C2E2 2026? 

And finally, if you want to make sure and see the Popverse team in action instead of just in passing (we'll be rushing about the showfloor all con, remember), the best way to do it is to attend one of our many panels.
