The ComicsPRO Annual Meeting will return to Glendale, California, for the second year in a row in 2026. The meeting is scheduled for February 18-21, 2026, at the Hilton Glendale, and registration will start in early- to mid-October.
The 2025 meeting set a record for ComicsPRO, with 163 retailers attending in person and another 53 online, and over 65 vendors (see “ComicsPRO Annual Meeting Wrap-Up”). The organization’s initiatives this year include Local Comic Shop Day, which will take place on September 27, 2025 (see “ComicsPRO Unveils Revamped Local Comic Shop Day,” “Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum Are Local Comic Shop Day Ambassadors”) and encouraging publishers to adopt the COMET metadata standard, which has become even more important in the past year as many publishers move away from Diamond (see “Retailers Fear Loss of Diamond Data Flow”).
