A Letter From Our Event Director

Hey book lovers, 

Between the quick sell-out of tickets and our booth at New York Comic Con (where we met so many of you!), it's been incredible to witness all the excitement for the return of BookCon. Amidst that excitement, we’ve also heard from those of you who weren't able to get tickets and were hoping we would be able to expand the show. Well, we have some good news.

I'm thrilled to share that we’ve been able to secure an additional hall in the Javits Center and will be expanding BookCon 2026!

We’ll be adding Hall 1B to the event, in addition to the spaces we have in Javits North (Levels 4 and 5), Hall 3, and Hall 1A. This will allow us to grow the event to welcome more authors, more activities, and more of YOU without diluting the experience for those who already secured tickets. We'll also be able to increase the space for our Main Stage, which means even more capacity for our fantasy-themed ball on Saturday night.

If you weren’t able to secure tickets, a very limited number of additional Saturday and Sunday tickets will go on sale on December 3 at 12:00 PM ET. You can find more details on our website.

We anticipate that these will sell out quickly so be sure to (book)mark your calendars and set an alarm! Until then, I hope you’re enjoying a good book—or five—and loving the -ber months as much as I am.

Warmly,
Jenny Martin
Event Director, BookCon
