Panels: See the schedule
One of the most exhilarating things at NYCC is the panels. Have you ever been in a room with people who love the same fandom as you and who are cheering, clapping, and hollering for the celebrities on stage or the cosplayers who are strutting their stuff? There’s no feeling like it! In panels you can find out news about movies, tv shows, anime, and studio content; watch an in-person Q&A with your favorite celebs, creators, or voice actors; or see people just like you who are hosting panels to talk about the things we all love to geek out about.

Reminder: Main Stage and Empire Stage require panel reservations to secure your seat. Learn more about reservations and see a step-by-step guide to make sure your ticket is set up for reservations below.
