Planet comic con is scheduled for march 23 & 24,2012

 

OK, I got my Planet Con dates from another site but it appears that they are rescheduling the Kansas City show because C2E2 was unable to pick a different date acc. to the Planet Comic Con website...although acc. to the website they still don't have a confirmed date.

 

Thanks for the info!

WonderCon 2012 Moves to Anaheim

http://www.comic-con.org/

 

WonderCon, part of Comic-Con International's (CCI) family of conventions, today announced that the 2012 show will be held March 16-18, and Anaheim, California, will play host to the long-running comics and popular arts convention. San Francisco's Moscone Center, WonderCon's traditional venue, will undergo renovations in early 2012, leaving the 25-year-old show in the unenviable position of either being canceled or finding a new venue.

 

In a move to help alleviate an overcrowded calendar, ReedPop's C2E2, which has been waiting to announce dates for its own show in March 2012, will now seek alternative dates while Wizard World has announced that it will postpone its April 2012 Anaheim show.

 

"It certainly was not our wish to move," commented David Glanzer, director of marketing and public relations for the nonprofit event. "However, when faced with the prospect of canceling the show for a year or moving locations, after careful consideration we decided to keep WonderCon on the 2012 calendar at a venue that could accommodate our needs."

 

"We fully understand the challenges of trying to secure dates at any venue, let alone one undergoing renovation," said Lance Fensterman, Group Vice President of ReedPop. "In an effort to minimize the impact on exhibitors and attendees we are currently looking to shift C2E2 from our traditional March dates."

 

Gareb Shamus, CEO of Wizard World offered a unique solution to offset any potential conflict for fans and exhibitors: "All of us who produce conventions know securing dates can often be a frustrating experience especially when you find yourself having to move to a new city." Shamus continued, "Because of their long history, Wizard World has decided to accommodate WonderCon and postpone our April 2012 Anaheim show."

 

"We appreciate the efforts of Lance and Gareb for going above and beyond in making the WonderCon transition more manageable," said Glanzer.

OD - passed that to programming.

 

Now that big mutha con in NYC is over we got our vectors set for Chicago.

 

In retrospect 2011 was the most enjoyable con for me. Great fans, good guests, exhibitors are really cool, nice pace, and we were reward with one of the highest post-show fan surveys reedPOP ever received.

 

Holy cow. I heard Wiz put their two-day show on our C2E2 dates. Venues hohummm. Exactly what I was looking for.
