About Collectors Summit
Created by Collectors. Powered by Illustrade. Driven by Passion.
Collectors Summit is proudly produced by Illustrade—a passionate group of collectors united by a single mission: to create vibrant, community-first events centered around comic books and original comic art.
Founded in 2021, Illustrade is dedicated to connecting collectors and artists through live events, online communities, and exclusive experiences. Our shows draw thousands—from emerging enthusiasts to legendary collectors—and facilitate the exchange of millions of dollars in comic books and art every year.
For artists, the Collectors Summit is more than a show—it’s a launchpad. Our events offer a unique platform to reach new audiences, build lasting fan relationships, and spark future collaborations. And beyond the marketplace, our charitable initiatives have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for children’s hospitals—proving that comics can make a real-world difference.
What truly sets the Summit apart? Our community-driven marketplace. Each event brings together a curated mix of collectors sharing rare, one-of-a-kind pieces you won’t find anywhere else. From hidden gems to historic grails, you never know what you’ll discover at a Collectors Summit.
The Collectors Summit has quickly become a premier destination for everything comic book related. We believe the future of the industry centers on high-quality, collector-centric venues that elevate the experience for artists, dealers, collectors, and fans alike. We hope to see you at the next Summit!
