Denver Pop Culture/Comic Con is now Fan Expo Denver

Fan Expo Denver

Fan Expo has taken over the Denver Pop Culture/Comic Con which will now be known as Fan Expo Denver. The convention will still work with Pop Culture Classroom. Pop Culture Classroom will be the convention’s featured charity.

Fan Expo is one of the major convention companies, this one founded in Canada. Owned by Informa Canada, other conventions include Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, Fan Expo Canada, Fan Expo Boston, Fan Expo Dallas, MegaCon, and Game Developers Conference.

2020 was a rough year for conventions and 2021’s future is unknown. In December 2020, Denver Pop Culture/Comic Con announced the 2021 convention was canceled. A plea for fundraising help was put out by Pop Culture Classroom at the same time.

The 2021 Denver Pop Culture Con Has Been Canceled

The Denver Pop Culture Con has canceled its convention scheduled for May 2021. With ongoing restrictions and uncertainty towards the future, the convention decided to make an early call. The convention was set for May 14-16 at the Colorado Convention Center.

The convention’s cancelation has caused an impact in that it also has caused cutbacks involving the nonprofit tied to the convention, Pop Culture Classroom as well as the convention itself.

There is going to be a shift in their missions going forward focusing in on educational opportunities, instruction, and connecting with the creative community during the health crisis.

The convention and nonprofit are focusing on expanding online offerings for students, teachers, and aspiring creators, as well as engage fans virtually.

With a money crunch Pop Culture Classroom is asking for donations to help continue.
