Comic volume distributors have been running conference with funny book stock for over forty years as a means for retail merchant to work together , and with publisher and God Almighty , side - to - face . They have often been used to announce news and encourage promotions , often incentivised with exclusive collectible provide to the event . This would have been Diuamond ’s 40th anniversary of retailer seminars , and while Capital City Distribution made them self-aggrandising events , Diamond begin running enceinte annual events from 2000 to the present did , with a practical replacement during the pandemic lockdown . But the subsequent loss of occupation from DC , Marvel , Image , Dark Horse , IDW and others since then has made the practicality of such events harder , with less of a presence from these publishers . ComicsPRO , being distributor - non - partizan might render a majuscule focus for such action outside of San Diego and New York Comic Con .
The upcoming ComicsPro Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh will have in high spirits large presence from Diamond , Lunar and Penguin Random House , Marvel Comics PresidentDan Buckleyas a keynote speaker , with Marvel EIC CBCebulskialso in attending .
