Once you’ve spent hundreds or thousands on a badge, lodging, transportation, parking, food, etc., “free” stuff at San Diego Comic-Con 2023 might not actually feel all *that* free.

Still, walking away with something extra for attending a panel is a long-standing SDCC tradition and one of the better feelings attendees can experience. We’ve gone over the entire panel schedule and read every description cover to cover. From art prints to books and chocolate to 3D STL models, we compiled the ultimate “swag” schedule consisting of panels that promise freebies in their descriptions. We’ve listed them below with times, titles, rooms, and any additional details on the giveaway if the description provided them beyond generic terms like swag, giveaways, etc. We’ve also tried to include panels where giveaways have been confirmed elsewhere, even if not in the official panel description.

Of course, this doesn’t preclude other panels from giving out unannounced goodies, whether directly in the room or in the form of a ticket that needs to be redeemed at Programming Premiums.

For the full descriptions, click on the individual panel titles or view our Sched schedule to see all the descriptions on one page:
