BroadwayCon Organizers Reveal 2026 Exhibitor Rundown

Leave a comment

We’re just about a week away from the 2026 edition of the BroadwayCon and as referenced in similar posts of this nature, I find the exhibitors to be something that interests me very much during theatrical version of a comic convention. Sure I love the theatre and all the performances but the consumer side of me just loves to see what kinds of exhibitors will be in attendance. Though I didn’t see an actual press release citing all of the vendors, there was a post to the events Official Facebook Page which I culled for your own edification. Perhaps if you were still on the fence about attending, maybe some of these creative types will find you being more interested in showing up. I’ve also noticed some posts citing very reasonable ticket prices at $50. This is traditionally a fairly pricy show to attend. Also, they announced back in December that event would be moved from the Sheraton Times Square Hotel to the Palladium Times Square AND the New York Westin in Times Square hotel. You can reference that post by clicking HERE in case you’d care to review the information.
