2020 is the year of virtual conventions! On Friday, August 14, 2020, The Topps Company announced its first virtual convention named DigiCon 2020. The latest virtual convention is set to start Thursday, August 27, and end on Sunday, August 30, on the DigiCast Twitch channel. Fans can enjoy days full of Q&A sessions, watch parties of The Mandalorian, X-MenThe Little Mermaid, and sneak-peeks with special announcements and panels.

Tobin Lent, Vice President & Global General Manager of Digital at The Topps Company, said:

“Collector conventions are traditionally a great way for us to interact directly with our fans. But the impossibility of meeting in-person this year created an opportunity for our portfolio of apps to shine, and for us to engage digitally with our fans in this unique way for the first time, All Topps Digital Apps are featured in this unique, in-home experience and accessible to everyone globally. We can’t wait to bridge the distance between fan and creator with digital collectibles that replicate the exciting experience of visiting show-floor booths.”

That’s not it, though. Fans can have the opportunity to have questions they submit answered by stars WWE’s Drew Mcintyre and Alexis Bliss as well as Creative Director for MARVEL, Brian Crosby. Fans can get a sneak-peek into the ideas and thought processes of some incredibly talented creators in entertainment and sports.
