Comic-Con International: San Diego — better known as SDCC — is already one of the most popular fan events in the world. For more than 50 years, the convention has brought together fans for a chance to celebrate all things comic books and pop culture. Now, the company has partnered with licensing agency IMG to expand its reach.

By teaming up with IMG, SDCC hopes to further its goal of promoting comics and engaging with the fan community. IMG will work to identify licensing partners who can create products, retail destinations, and experiences for the many fans who are not able to attend SDCC in person.
