convention research

Looking for a fun way to pass the time at San Diego Comic-Con and get a fun commemorative patch? Help gather convention research for us! Stop by the booth and we’ll give you a pamphlet with all the details on how to earn this year’s 2025 Convention Research Patch. We promise it’s a lot of fun.

Our research tasks are in three categories:

  • Character Documentation: Establishing a record of attendees and others at the con.

  • Artifact Collection: Gathering items of interest or value to the con.

  • Digital Preservation: Recording events, groups, or activities at the con.

You have the duration of the con to complete and return to the booth. We know SDCC asks a lot of us all and this research should fit right in alongside all your other con obligations.

Redemption hours are:
Thursday - Sunday
2PM - hall closing

(If we’re busy, we might ask you to
come back later
)

Requirements

  • Complete a minimum of 4 TASKS in EACH CATEGORY for a total of 12 tasks

  • Tasks are OPEN TO INTERPRETATION - convince us of your reasoning!

  • Each task can only be submitted ONCE
