Diamond Comics Distributors has announced it will hold its annual Retailer Summit as an online event on September 26 and 27. The event will include vendor presentations, publisher roundtables, professional development workshops, and a virtual exhibit hall. As in Diamond's live events, there will be swag and exclusive sales, as well as the announcement of Diamond’s Retail Best Practices Awards and the Dave Hawksworth Memorial Comic Shop Improvement Award.

Last year’s Retailer Summit, which had been scheduled for April 2020, just before Megacon, was canceled due to the COVID pandemic (see “Diamond Cancels Retailer Summit”).
