An ICv2 Release. Digital comic reading and distribution platform GlobalComix is returning for a second year as a Co-Sponsor of the ICv2 Insider Talks and Comic Industry Social Hour at New York Comic Con, the companies announced. The topic this year is “The Next Comics Revolution,” with speakers focusing on changes in how comics are created, published, and sold in the new environment as the industry adapts to the flow of money into new comic start-ups, digital or otherwise, and the first digital comics IPO.
This year’s event will be held in association with New York Comic Con in the dramatic River Pavilion at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. The 2024 ICv2 Insider Talks is the latest in a long series of ICv2 B2B conferences that have been held in conjunction with New York Comic Con since 2006, its first year.
“We’re always excited to support the ICv2 Insider Talks,” GlobalComix CEO Christopher Carter said in announcing the Co-Sponsorship. “It’s an invaluable arena for industry and market insights, and it helps us know how we can evolve our own platform to support the needs of the industry. We’re all in it together, and by sharing ideas and insights we can create a strong future for the medium and the comics community as a whole.”
“GlobalComix is a leader in digital comics, but is also focused on the health and wellbeing of comics as a whole,” ICv2 CEO Milton Griepp said in announcing the GlobalComix Co-Sponsorship. “Their Co-Sponsorship of the ICv2 Insider Talks contributes to our understanding of the rapidly changing comics market, and to the evolution of the market as a whole. We appreciate their Co-Sponsorship, and welcome their participation.”
Each year, the ICv2 B2B event at New York Comic Con is a great opportunity to meet, mingle, and network with other leaders of the comics and graphic novel industry. This year’s event will kick off with the Comic Industry Social Hour at 2:30 Thursday afternoon, October 17; the ICv2 Insider Talks, several powerful sessions focused on the rapid changes transforming the comics industry, will run 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
