BookCon Experiences

After Dark

The story doesn’t end when the show floors close. Share your talent at a poetry slam (or enjoy listening to other!), cozy up for a movie in your PJs, or don a gown for a fantasy-themed ball. Happening on Saturday until 10:30 PM on Levels 4 & 5 of Javits North.

Panels & Workshops

From authors and creatives sharing a behind-the-scenes look at your favorite stories to lively discussions on your favorite tropes and fandoms to blinging out a cherished book, take in a panel or get hands-on with a workshop.

Pride Lounge

The Pride Lounge at BookCon, in partnership with Geeks OUT, is a welcoming space where the queer community and allies can connect and socialize. Recharge, take in special programming, or explore your interest in queer manga with our wonderful exhibitor, Manga in Libraries.

The Grove

Get crafty with our workshops, swap a beloved paperback with a future favorite at the community book exchange, or sip something refreshing while you relax and chat with friends about what you’re currently reading. The Grove is presented by Allurial.
Located in Javits North, Room 406
