ComicsPRO’s annual meeting will be held in Glendale, Calif., on Feb. 20-22, 2025. Registration for the meeting will open by Nov. 1, 2024, executive director Marco Davanzo said in an email.
ComicsPRO initiatives this year included the COMET metadata standard (see “ComicsPRO: Metadata Update”), retailer surveys (see “Diamond, Lunar and PRHPS Retailers” and “ComicsPRO Releases Retailer Survey Results ”) and a virtual open house with sessions on a variety of topics (see “ComicsPRO: Book Channel Trends Offer Insights for Comics Retailers”). They kept Local Comic Book Day on the low-key this year in anticipation of relaunching the event in 2025 (see “Two-Year Plan for Local Comic Book Day”).
The annual meeting, which brings together retailers for educational sessions, networking and publisher presentations, has been held in Pittsburgh for the past two years (see “ComicsPRO Annual Meeting”).
