Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo History
The Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo, commonly referred to as the Calgary Expo, began in 2006 as a small comic convention organized by a group of passionate fans. Initially, the event attracted a few hundred attendees and was held in a modest venue. Over the years, it steadily grew in popularity, reflecting the rising interest in comic books, science fiction, fantasy, and pop culture. By 2010, the expo had expanded significantly, drawing thousands of attendees, top-tier guests, and exhibitors from around the globe. The expo has become a staple of Calgary's cultural landscape, showcasing a vibrant mix of comic book artists, writers, actors, and creators from various entertainment mediums. Each year, the Calgary Expo features a diverse lineup of panels, workshops, and events that celebrate everything from anime to gaming and cosplay, making it a beloved gathering for fans of all ages. In 2019, the event celebrated its 14th year, attracting over 100,000 attendees and featuring prominent guests such as comic book legends, film stars, and industry pioneers. The COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges for the expo, leading to the cancellation of the 2020 event, but the organizers adapted by creating virtual experiences to engage fans online. With a commitment to diversity and inclusion, the Calgary Expo continues to evolve, reflecting the changing landscape of pop culture and entertainment.
