We have some sad news. The September 4-6, 2020 show is postponed to April 2021. Due to the efforts by the government to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, certain restrictions and safety protocols have been put into place regarding live events including the recent order that indoor gatherings of more than 25 people are now prohibited. With an average daily attendance that far surpasses that, not including vendors, guests, and staff, our event is well outside the limit of what ...is now acceptable. Unfortunately, there is no expectation that these restrictions will be lifted prior to our planned September event date. https://www.governor.pa.gov//wolf-administration-announce/ With these orders in place in our state, as well as other states that are advising limited or no travel, we have a situation that affects our vendors, celebrity guests, attendees, and even staff and volunteers. While the staff has been working constantly trying to find a workable and fair solution, we realize that it is now time for us to accept that there is simply no feasible way to hold The Great Philadelphia Comic Con! 2020 on our rescheduled September dates. With the health and safety of everyone in mind, we will be postponing the entire show to 2021. It is our intention to hold the show in our normal timeline of mid-April, but we will of course be keeping a close eye on things as they develop. Once we are confident that we can hold a safe event, we will announce the exact dates. The good news is we have been in contact with our celebrity guest and the majority of them have agreed (barring any further unforeseeable challenges) to reschedule their appearance to the 2021 show. Additionally, we are now actively working on a virtual option with some of our celebrity guests, so keep watching this space for announcements on how to take part in those panels and other fun events should we be able to work out all the details. We sincerely apologize to all of you who were looking forward to attending GPCC 2020. We hope that 2021 will be a better year for all of us, and we can once again gather to celebrate getting our geek on with our con family! Until then, we hope that you all stay healthy and Wash Your Hands if you must go out and about! For more - https://www.philadelphiacomiccon.com/covid-19-notice/
It came to our attention yesterday that our volunteer coordinator, Ray Migliaro, had made some insensitive and inappropriate comments on social media regarding the death of George Floyd. We are aware that the behavior of our staff is a reflection of our organization, and we do not support or condone this behavior. Effective yesterday afternoon, Mr. Migliaro was relieved of all duties relating to Great Conventions, LLC and will no longer be associated with our events in any way.
Recently, we have been asked by many of you about our plans with regards to COVID-19. It’s understandable that many are looking for some answers as we are getting closer to the event and the situation seems to be changing daily. First, as the COVID-19 situation is evolving, we strongly advise that all exhibitors and attendees review the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) travel and health notices related to this disease. These notices should be updated as more information becomes available and can be found here https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/ Please refer to the graphic for our official statement.
