New York Comic Con will expand its professional programming track for the 2025 edition of the annual event — and it’s also putting up a velvet rope.

The pro lineup will begin with NYCC 2025 opening night on Wednesday, Oct. 8, and programming will run through the end of the convention on Oct. 12. The events range from a Friday Marketing Summit with experiential marketing and events agency Experience12 to masterclasses led by writer and podcaster Josh Horowitz and brands including Warner Bros.
