San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC)
Held annually in San Diego, CA, San Diego Comic-Con, also known as SDCC or Comic-Con International celebrates comic books, movies, television, and other forms of pop culture. It is the largest convention of its kind in the world, and it attracts over 130,000 people each year. And unlike many for-profit events across the country, Comic-Con is a nonprofit organization that promotes comics and related art forms. They do this by organizing conventions, exhibits, and other public outreach activities. They also support charitable causes that benefit the arts, including the Comic-Con museum.
As they do every year, SDCC organizers worked with creatives across all facets of the entertainment industry to bring fans tons of exciting panels and events. Out of respect for the members of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA who are on strike, panels that revolve around scripted television and theatrical work from struck companies have been canceled. The careers of working-class SAG-AFTRA and WGA members are in jeopardy because the AMPTP refuses to offer a fair deal to creatives who work in television, theatrical, and streaming work.
San Diego Comic-Con gets a lot of hype because of its big celebrity-filled events. It’s heartbreaking that these actors and writers can’t celebrate their work this year. Fans and industry insiders come from all over the world to celebrate fandom and pop culture at SDCC. But the Hall H panels and the big studio announcements are just one part of it. There is so much more to San Diego Comic-Con than just TV and films.
