Just when you thought the fun ended in San Diego… Fandom is heading to New York City for a can’t-miss event during New York Comic Con, the company announced on Monday.
The Fandom Party New York, presented by Universal Orlando Resort, will be held at The Venue on Music Row at the Hard Rock Hotel in Times Square on Friday, Oct. 18, from 8:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. ET and will bring together fans, celebrities, influencers, industry partners and press for a fun-filled night to remember.
Fans should make sure to follow @getfandom on social media for the chance to win tickets to the party.
“San Diego Comic-Con is certainly a place where we have always been celebrating fans, making sure they’re having an awesome time,” CMO Stephanie Fried said in an interview with TheWrap. “New York Comic Con is something we’ve dipped our toe into a bit and haven’t formalized as part of our core strategy, but going forward, we really believe in the power of these events and surrounding fan conventions at scale.”
Fried added: “New York Comic Con is obviously another big fan event. It’s important in entertainment and gaming, and we want to be there to, again, celebrate and bring joy to those fans.”
