Diamond Comic Distributors has announced the dates and location for its 2016 Retailer Summit; the event will be held August 31-September 2 in Baltimore.  Once again (see “Diamond Announces 2015 Retailer Summit in Baltimore”), the event will dovetail with Baltimore Comic-Con, which starts on Friday, September 2.  As has been the case in the past, the Baltimore Comic-Con exhibit hall will serve as the exhibit hall for the Retailer Seminar during retailer-only hours.

The theme of the Diamond Retailer Summit is “Future Vision:  Building the Comic Book Shop of Tomorrow.”

Diamond will host an opening night reception on August 31; sponsor presentations will be held Thursday, September 1.
