ICON5 will be held in New York City at the historic Roosevelt Hotel in midtown Manhattan. This year's theme, The Big Picture, is more than a slogan, it is the perspective through which we see our future – a future of limitless possibilities for illustrators as thinkers, story tellers and providers of creative content.

Participants will design, print, paint, and construct their final project during the event.
Each day there will be a special guest speaker to inspire attendees with their latest portfolio project and ignite the creative monster in all of us.
