HOW DO I APPLY TO BE A PROFESSIONAL COMIC GUEST?

Showcase your epic talent and apply to FAN EXPO Portland for complimentary space as a Featured, Special, or Appearing Comic Book Guest. Spots are limited and the competition is fierce.

Submit an application form, making sure to list all your qualifications and credits and a member of our Comic Creator team will be in touch if you are approved.

If you are interested in attending as a professional guest but are not a comic creator, please complete the application and it will be forwarded to the relevant department for review. This includes authors, editors, producers, even multi-billionaires with secret underground cave headquarters who love dressing up in black and fighting crime.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Approval for space does not include travel and/or accommodations and should be discussed prior to application with a Guest Coordinator.
  • Unless you have been invited by a Guest coordinator, all professionals must apply to FAN EXPO Portland.
