San Diego Comic-Con Now Planning Smaller In-Person Gathering for November
Despite the fact that this summer’s San Diego Comic-Con will be a virtual affair, this weekend brought news that the organization is planning a smaller, in-person offshoot for November. “Comic-Con Special Edition” will take place over Thanksgiving weekend, beginning November 26th and wrapping up on November 28th.
A statement was released through Variety:
“It is our hope that by Fall conditions will permit larger public gatherings,” the announcement said. “Comic-Con Special Edition will be the first in-person convention. Produced by the organization since Comic-Con 2019, and the first since the onset of the global pandemic COVID-19. The Fall event will allow the organization to highlight all the great elements that make Comic-Con such a popular event each year, as well as generate much needed revenue not only for the organization but also for local businesses and the community. Hopefully this event will shore up our financial reserves and mark a slow return to larger in-person gatherings in 2022.”
