ReedPop made book lovers’ dreams come true last year with the reveal that BookCon would be returning in 2026 after the beloved publishing convention was retired in 2020.

Since that June 2025 announcement, readers have been dissecting every new piece of information about the two-day show leading up to its opening day this Friday. Tickets sold out immediately when they went on sale last September and reservations for author signings and exclusive events were snapped up just as quickly when they opened last month.
