Comics Conference for Educators and Librarians
Comic-Con International has teamed up with the San Diego Public Library to host a free four-day Comics Conference for Educators and Librarians!
This first-of-its-kind educational conference will take place during Comic-Con, and will explore the role comics play in promoting education and literacy for all ages.
Library professionals and educators are invited to this free event to learn creative and exciting ways to incorporate comics and graphic novels into their work. Through presentations and panel discussions, the conference aims to engage the community, promote comics as a powerful tool for learning, and celebrate the medium as an important literary art form. The Comics Conference for Educators and Librarians is also an opportunity for attendees to connect and dialogue with publishers and industry professionals.

Q&A
| Question: |
Different events and panels occur throughout the day, correct? So if we are not there at 11 AM we will not lose our ticket, right? |
| Answer: |
Yes, that is correct. You can arrive any time during the day for which you have a ticket. Once checked in you will get a wristband which will allow you in and out access throughout the day. |
