New York Comic Con will return as an in-person event at the Javits Center this fall, parent company ReedPop revealed Thursday. The con, which is set for Oct. 7-10, will take place one month before San Diego Comic-Con International’s “special edition” convention over Thanksgiving weekend, which marks SDCC’s first in-person event since Summer 2019.
More details are still to come on how the event will work with new safety precautions in place, but for now, ReedPop has said the show will be running at “reduced capacity” with “very limited” attendance, face coverings will be required at all times, temperature checks upon entry, there will be increased sanitization and cleaning in the facility and enforced physical distancing, and there will be a “firm no handshake, no high-fives, no hugs” policy
