NYCC 2025 is growing to 5 days - with a special Wednesday just for professionals again

A full day of pro-only panels, signings, giveaways, and more at New York Comic Con 2025.

New York Comic Con is not only the largest comic convention in North America - it's also the largest gathering of comic professionals in the continent. And, while people in the industry can get work done in between panels, signings, and other events (or in the early morning and late evening hours), ReedPop hears you when you say you need more. That's why, for the second year in a row NYCC 2025 is growing to an extra day just for professionals.

While New York Comic Con itself runs Thursday, October 9 through Sunday, October 12 this year, ReedPop will be opening NYCC 2025 on Wednesday, October 8 for professional programming including panels, interactive events, free giveaways, private signings, and more. This event is open to all NYCC 2025 attendees with badges as a comic book retailer, an industry professional, or a sponsor of the show - and get free swag, exclusive panels, and private signings.

“We received resounding positive feedback from last year’s professional programming and are thrilled to expand as a part of our 2025 lineup,” says ReedPop VP Kristina Rogers. "Our professional partners are essential to the success of New York Comic Con, and we are looking forward to bringing even more engaging content to this part of our community."

So far, we have lined up the following programming participants:

  • DC Comics' publisher/president/CCO Jim Lee
  • ComicsPRO
  • Topps
  • Lunar Distribution
  • BOOM! Studios
  • IDW Publishing
  • Oni Press
  • A Wave Blue World
  • Battle Quest Comics
  • BINC Foundation
  • Tiny Onion

We'll end the NYCC 2025 Pro Day with a cocktail reception hosted by Lunar Distribution.

For partnership and sponsor opportunities concerning this event, please reach out to ReedPop's comic publishing Talent Manager Alex Rae at [email protected].

The NYCC 2025 professional programming day will take place on Wednesday, October 8 in the Javits Center's River Pavilion and will be open to all NYCC attendees with a badge as a comic book retailer, an industry professional, or a sponsor of the show.
