We have some BIG news and wanted you to be the first to know…

We’re excited to announce that Wizard World Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Portland, St. Louis, and Cleveland are joining the FAN EXPO family and will be rebranded FAN EXPO events in 2022. These events will be revitalized, and revolutionized to bring you a brand new fan experience we know you’ll love. Very soon, we’ll be together again to celebrate fandom and we can’t wait.

If you’re not familiar with FAN EXPO HQ, it is the largest comic con producer in the world, attracting superstar guests, iconic creators, and international brands to shows like MEGACON Orlando, FAN EXPO Dallas, and FAN EXPO Denver.

What does this mean for you? In short, it means your fan experience is about to be supersized, and these events will be part of an even greater network of fans across North America. FAN EXPO HQ will be collaborating with us on a smooth transition and will honor all prior commitments with fans, exhibitors, and artisans. We will continue to operate the Wizard World Vault and will be participating at all FAN EXPO events.
