The event will be held from 4-6 p.m., and will consist of a presentation of the ICv2 White Paper, providing ICv2’s analysis of the state of the comics market, and a hosted cocktail reception.
ICv2 is hosting the White Paper Happy Hour in place of its ICv2 Conference, a half-day event typically held on the day before the opening of New York Comic Con.
“We’re planning a full reboot of the ICv2 Conference in 2016, and for this transition year we wanted to provide the industry with some of the insights they’ve come to expect from the Conference, and have some fun with our friends and colleagues in the process,” ICv2 President Milton Griepp said of the event. “This year’s event is free, a thank you for the industry’s support of the ICv2 Conference over the years, along with a celebration of the first day of New York Comic Con.”
