Troutman Pepper Locke is excited to announce that our panel for Comic-Con International 2026 has been accepted!

The panel will discuss M&A (i.e., the buying and selling of companies) activity in the entertainment, publishing, and gaming industries — from why companies engage in M&A transactions to the macro industry trends. Panelists will include investment banker Matt Wang, senior managing director at Evercore; Joe Brusha, founder and CEO of Zenescope Entertainment; attorneys Bruce Fenton and Todd Boylan, partners at Troutman Pepper Locke; and Gio Hunt, video game executive with prior roles at Meta, Blizzard, and AOL. Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit will be offered for attorneys.
