The upcoming 2020 Diamond Retailer Summit in Orlando, Florida will see comic book retailers from across the country, and beyond, to be wined and dined by comic book publishers, distributors, creators and service providers. As part of the attraction, attendees will also get rare premium giveaways to help amortise the cost of the trip. And to cope with Florida. Diamond even tells retailers that the giveaways should 'virtually pay for your trip to the Summit'. I hope that doesn't make them a taxable benefit.

The 2020 Retailer Summit will offer a wealth of entertaining, educational and informative activities, bringing together the industry's retailers, publishers, key vendors, and Diamond staff for the 3-day trade-only event. The Retailer Summit will feature key supplier presentations, a trade-only Exhibit Hall, retailer workshops, publisher forums, and more fun and informative events for comic book specialty retailers.

"Orlando and MegaCon are the perfect venue for this year's Summit," said Dan Manser, Diamond's Director of Marketing. "We look forward to partnering with Fan Expo HQ to deliver a stellar experience for comic shop owners during the 2020 Retailer Summit ahead of MegaCon in Orlando."

"We're thrilled to be hosting the 2020 Diamond Summit at MEGACON Orlando. It's fitting that this key industry event has found a home at the Southeast's Largest Fan Convention," said Andrew Moyes, VP of Fan Expo HQ.

Diamond's Retailer Summit is the leading annual event for comic book specialty retailers to meet with publishers and suppliers who come together to discuss the industry and their businesses. Top publishers sponsor the event and share exciting new projects, while retailers get to network and learn about new and proven business practices to help them succeed in today's retailing environment.

Additional details and registration information to come. Publishers and vendors should contact Maryanne Marlowe for information on sponsorship and event details.
