Along with panels, <a href="/wiki/Seminars" class="mw-redirect" title="Seminars">seminars</a>, and workshops with comic book professionals, there are previews of upcoming feature films and portfolio review sessions with top comic book and video game companies. The evenings include events such as awards ceremonies, the annual Masquerade costume contest, and the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival, which showcases shorts and feature-length movies that do not have distribution or distribution deals. Traditional events include an eclectic film program, screening rooms devoted to <a href="/wiki/Japanese_animation" class="mw-redirect" title="Japanese animation">Japanese animation</a>, gaming, programs such as cartoonist <a href="/wiki/Scott_Shaw_(artist)" title="Scott Shaw (artist)">Scott Shaw!</a>'s "Oddball Comics" slide show, Quick Draw! hosted by <a href="/wiki/Mark_Evanier" title="Mark Evanier">Mark Evanier</a> with Shaw!, <a href="/wiki/Sergio_Aragones" class="mw-redirect" title="Sergio Aragones">Sergio Aragones</a> and a guest cartoonist responding to improvisational prompts and games (a la <a href="/wiki/Whose_Line_Is_It_Anyway%3F" title="Whose Line Is It Anyway?">Whose Line Is It Anyway?</a>), and animation expert <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Beck" title="Jerry Beck">Jerry Beck</a>'s program featuring TV's "worst cartoons ever", as well as over 350 hours of other programming on all aspects of comic books and pop culture.

Academics and comic industry professionals annually hold the <a href="/wiki/Comics_Arts_Conference" title="Comics Arts Conference">Comics Arts Conference</a> at Comic-Con, presenting scholarly studies on comics as a medium.

There are three types of exhibitors at San Diego Comic Con. Inside the convention center, which requires a badge to visit during the convention, includes artists alley and the main exhibitor hall. Artist Alley is for up and coming artists who are new to the pop culture world by selling their new books, comics, toys, and or services. They range from local companies and businesses in Southern California to international ones, but are mainly private endeavors. Artist Alley is usually located in Hall G of the convention center. Spaces for these exhibitors are highly sought after and are on a lottery and need-based system.<a href="#cite_note-134">[134]</a> The main exhibit hall, which includes larger well-recognized companies, takes up halls F through A. These companies sell or promote new and upcoming movies, television shows, and video games as well as featuring toys and exclusives with many selling for hundreds or even thousands on the secondary markets outside the convention. Some notable recurring companies include <a href="/wiki/Lego" title="Lego">Lego</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hasbro" title="Hasbro">Hasbro</a>, <a href="/wiki/Funko" title="Funko">Funko</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hallmark_Cards" title="Hallmark Cards">Hallmark Cards</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nickelodeon" title="Nickelodeon">Nickelodeon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cartoon_Network" title="Cartoon Network">Cartoon Network</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Walt_Disney_Company" title="The Walt Disney Company">The Walt Disney Company</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Blizzard_Entertainment" title="Blizzard Entertainment">Blizzard Entertainment</a>.
