Scheduled programming is a core part of ECCC and creates a shared experience for like-minded fans. The content and format of panels can vary: some are auditoriums with cast members reuniting on stage, some are intimate meetups of cosplayers, and some are interactive workshops, dance lessons, or trivia. These all come included with your ticket, unless otherwise noted.

Brands large and small take over several floors of the SCC, featuring products from your favorite fandoms, genres, and even memes. This is where you can find and purchase apparel, collectibles, comics, plush, books, original art, and anything else that you can imagine.  It’s easy to get lost in the aisles and rows of the Show Floor, but you’re likely to discover something unexpected or new. Exhibitors can be found in the Arch building on Level 4, and in the Summit building on Levels 0 and 2.

Get to know talented local artists or rub elbows with some of the biggest names in the world of comics in ECCC’s highly curated Artist Alley. You can buy unique commissions, prints featuring your favorite characters, or just vibe with creators as they work on their art! Artist Alley is located on Level 2 of the Summit building.

Writers Block brings the world of literature to ECCC and is a haven for avid readers, writers, and book lovers alike. This area features panels and signings with bestselling authors, a robust section of tables with a diverse and wonderful collection of writers, and our official ECCC bookseller, Third Place Books.
