Comic Conference for Educators/Librarians

For the 4th year, the San Diego Public Library and Comic-Con International come together for the “Comic Conference for Educators and Librarians” (CCEL), a series of panels held at the Shiley Special Events Suite at the San Diego Central Library.

The CCEL panels span all five days of SDCC and are free to attend and open to the public. Those interested can register now at the SD Public Library website to reserve a seat. Comic-Con badge holders are welcome to attend without registering.
