What To Know Before Heading To Los Angeles Comic Con 2023!

It’s time once again for Los Angeles Comic Con, one of our favorite conventions of the year! This amazing convention is returning to the Los Angeles Convention center!

Last year’s convention boasted a much larger footprint with dedicated sections for video gaming, which included freeplay, demo spaces, streamer stations, and an interactive stage for people to be introduced to streamers, and engage with them!

We even ran into the gang from The Warp Zone.

This year they will redouble their efforts to create an even more inclusive and fun gaming space, while also still hosting the exhibitors you love, and dedicating attention to panels and their main stage programming.

Exhibitors

As far as exhibitors go, there are some pretty amazing ones returning to the Convention. Here are some of our favorites and what you can expect:

Los Angeles Comic Con has the main stage, which features some of the most loved entertainment of their convention, but they also have small room panels as well.
