Registration for SDCC Retailer Lunch Now Closed

No caption.


Due to quick, overwhelming response by retailers, all seats for the San Diego Comic-Con Retailer Lunch hosted by Diamond, Dark Horse Comics, & DC Comics have been filled and Diamond will be unable to register any additional retailers at this time. Thanks to all retailers that showed interest, and our apologizes to anyone wishing to attend but will be unable to do so because of the capacity limit reached.

If you will not be able to attend the lunch, however, be sure to do the next best thing: check Diamond Daily for a post-SDCC update on the lunch and, while at SDCC, visit Diamond staff at our booth, #2401. And while you're there, you can also pick up a valuable, free gift for filling out a brief survey, see our show specials, enjoy a ComicSuite & Retail Management System POS demonstrations by Customer Service Manager – Technical Support Cheryl Sleboda, and more.

If your lunch reservation has been confirmed by Diamond Domestic Customer Service Manager Nance Romer, as a reminder, the lunch will be held in Room 31ABC on Friday, July 22 from 12:30 p.m.- 2:00 p.m., making it especially convenient for retailers who plan to participate in ComicsPRO’s programming for that day, as it falls between DC’s Direct Conversation panel and the Will Eisner “Spirit of Comics” Retailer Award Video Viewing. Like those activities, the lunch will provide retailers with a valuable forum to keep the conversations going with respect to expanding their businesses and markets.

If you previously registered for lunch but will no longer be able to attend, please contact Romer by email or phone at (800) 452-6642, ext. 811 as soon as possible so that the opening can be reassigned and retailers on the waiting list can be notified.

In addition to a tasty midday meal, retailers attending the lunch will receive a free Comic-Con Thank-You Pack containing several exciting premiums, including:


From Lunch Hosts:

No caption. A free MiniMates "Greetings from San Diego" Shirt (you'll receive a coupon to redeem the t-shirt at the Diamond Booth).
