*Updated 1/22/18 with new guests* There are dozens of horror and comic events every year, and that gives fans plenty of opportunities to meet Robert Kirkman or one of the many cast members from The Walking Dead. Although it's a bit early for some of the bigger conventions to announce their full guest lists, we put together an initial list of stops so you can start making your travel plans.
New to the The Walking Dead convention circuit in 2015 are Tyler James Williams, Alexandra Breckenridge, and Seth Gilliam, along with some of the other new cast members we've seen in Season 5. If you're looking to catch most of The Walking Dead cast together at once, your best chance will be at the San Diego Comic-Con in July and the New York Comic Con in October. Those looking to meet Norman Reedus will have plenty of opportunities, as he is the one who usually attends the most conventions each year.
We'll keep this list updated over the coming months and please leave a comment or email us if there's an item you'd like us to add. Remember that all conventions are subject to guest cancellation, so keep in mind that a shooting schedule change could force a guest to leave at the last moment, even though they are officially announced as attending. Always check the official convention/event website for the most up-to-date information.
