Hi All, We’re really excited to bring you another awesome installment of ECCC next year, and the team’s already hard at work on building the show. Soon we’ll start announcing guests, launch tickets, and officially kick off the road to ECCC 2027. Before we do that, I wanted to highlight a change coming to ECCC next year: we’re implementing digital tickets and going badge-less for 2027. What does this mean for you? Your ECCC mobile app is now your complete guide to the whole show: your tickets, schedule, games, and more. Just link your tickets to the app and go. There are a few reasons we're making the change. It's a smoother experience. No more hours-long Will Call lines, no more shipping fees, and no more worrying if your tickets are going to arrive in time. More time enjoying ECCC. It's better for the planet. Going digital eliminates thousands of pounds of plastic waste and moves us closer to our net zero by 2040 goal. It's also part of a broader sustainability push we’re doing next year. We're working with our exhibitors, creators, and build teams to improve recycling during move-in and move-out, and we're adding more recycling stations throughout the venue with our friends at the Seattle Convention Center. This wasn’t a decision made lightly. Like many of you, I collect badges from every show I visit as a memento. So, for those of you who treasure your collections, a limited run of commemorative badges will be available during the event in exchange for a small donation to Seattle Children’s Hospital. We truly can’t wait to show you what we’re cooking up, and party with you on Pike and Pine in 2027. Chris D’Lando Event Director
