In addition to the panels, there will be various programming included with the ticket price, ensuring that attendees have a packed schedule of activities to engage in throughout the weekend.
To make the most of the event, Rockman advises attendees to download the Winnipeg Comiccon app. This handy tool allows visitors to plan out their weekend and keep track of all the exciting activities happening at the convention.
