NYCC opens selected professional panels to aspiring creators

Weekend fans can reserve limited places through the NYCC app, with confirmation required before attending.

New York Comic Con is offering fans limited access to selected professional panels through its new Aspiring Professional Program. The organiser lists October 5 as the reservation opening date for the weekend sessions. Saturday, Sunday and four-day ticket holders can use the NYCC app to find participating panels. A

booking is confirmed only by email; attendees must bring that confirmation and an activated ticket, then reach the Crystal Palace escalators at least 20 minutes before their panel. Professional and industry badge holders do not need these reservations. The October 8–11 convention takes place at the Javits Center. Check

the official professional programming guide and app for current availability and eligible sessions. Image: NYCC / ReedPop professional programming promotional image.
