Two major regional conventions have been canceled in the last few days, reflecting the continuing difficulties event organizers face in the coronavirus era, with a possible harbinger of how such events may eventually begin to return.
Tickets at the Limited Edition event will be limited to 25,000 "to insure a safe experience," the organizers said. The show normally boasts attendance of over 100,000, so that’s a major effort to reduce density for the event. MegaCon is run by Fan Expo HQ, a division of Informa.
Rose City Comic Con in Portland, a Clarion Events convention, was canceled outright. It was scheduled for September; the next event will be held in September 2021.
