Conventions | ReedPOP Senior Vice President Lance Fensterman looks back at New York Comic Con 2015, which drew 167,000 people over four days; the increase came from making Thursday a full day, he says. Fensterman also offers some thoughts on conventions in general, saying the market is starting to become saturated, but not in terms of fans, who will always go to a cool show: "I think the saturation is more so on the side of content, and by content, I mean exhibitors, brands, guests, studios," he says. "They don’t need that many shows." Dealers will always show up, but, Fensterman says, "Fans don’t want to pay a ticket price to come in to spend money. There needs to be content that is engaging, exciting and unique. And there’s a limited quantity on that." [ICv2]
