EVENTS & SCHEDULE
Three days of panels worth attending, signings worth waiting in line for, and an auction worth staying until the end. Here's what's on.
Doors Open
The floor is live. VIP badge holders are already inside — general admission, you're up. Hit the tables you've had your eye on before the crowd settles in.
Golden Age Grading Masterclass
Working CGC graders walk you through exactly what they look for — and what kills a grade. Bring your books. This is the room where you get real answers, not forum speculation.
Key Issues: 2026 Market Report
Which first appearances are moving, which are cooling, and where the smart money is going. Industry analysts with actual data — not hype.
Saturday Night Collector's Mixer
End the first day with the people who get it. Dealers, creators, and serious collectors in the same room. Drinks, giveaways, and a first look at Sunday's auction lots.
VIP Early Entry
VIP and Ultimate badge holders get a full hour on the floor before the doors open to general admission. First pick on everything.
Artist Alley Signing Session
20+ artists and writers at the table for three hours. Bring your run, get a sketch, or find a variant you've been chasing. These are the people who made the books.
Women in Comics: Past, Present & Future
The creators, characters, and collectors who shaped the medium — and where the work is going next. Writers, artists, and historians in conversation.
Cosplay Championship
The Rockies' biggest cosplay contest. All ages, all skill levels. Cash prizes and trophies — but mostly the kind of bragging rights that last until next year.
Monday Morning Sketches
A quieter session with select artists. Limited slots, first come first served. If you want a commission without the Sunday crowd, this is your window.
Bronze Age Deep Dive
The most undervalued era in collecting is having a moment. Which runs are worth your attention, which keys are still accessible, and why the Bronze Age window may be closing.
Rare & Key Issue Live Auction
High-grade keys, first appearances, and investment-grade slabs. Lot preview opens at 2pm for Ultimate badge holders. This is how the show ends — don't leave early.

FEATURED GUESTS
The creators and experts you actually want to talk to. Here's who's at the table this year.
Eisner Award winner. Her run on The Crimson Falcon is the reason half the room started collecting again. She knows Silver Age continuity better than most editors.
Ten years defining the look of Neon Knights. His convention sketches are the ones people frame. Get in line early — his slots go fast.
Twenty years in the grading room. Author of The Collector's Bible. If you want to know why your book didn't hit the grade you expected, she'll tell you straight.
Founder of Mile High Comics West. Forty years moving Golden and Silver Age keys. If it's in his case, it's been vetted. One of the most trusted names in the room.
