Comics and Media Conference
The ICv2 Comics and Media Conference, a ticketed half-day event, will be held at the San Diego Marriott, next to the San Diego Convention Center, on Wednesday afternoon, July 22nd, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., just before Preview Night at Comic-Con International 2009.
“Comics are increasingly the raw material for films, TV shows, and videogames and vice versa, and San Diego is where that all comes together,” ICv2 President Milton Griepp said. “We wanted to create a conference where everyone in the business, from comic writers and artists to film producers, could come together to talk about what’s happening and about how to expand this incredibly productive cross-fertilization.”
Confirmed speakers and panelists include film, TV, and comics writer Jeph Loeb (Superman Batman, Spider-Man), who will deliver the keynote address for the event; Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, who will participate in the discussion of Comics after Hollywood; and businesspeople from the worlds of comics, film, TV, and videogames, with more speakers still being added.
PW Comicsweek and The Beat by Heidi MacDonald, two publications of Publisher’s Weekly, have signed on to sponsor the conference. Comic-Con is assisting with promotion and logistics for the event.
