That would never happen. The SDCC gets that because it's an industry funded convention, not a strictly fan convention. Guests at those cons are paid by the entertainment companies to appear and do autographs and promote new movies as part of their contractual obligations. The industry is not going to split their NA promotions to have one out in the middle of Canada for some reason.

I know it will never happen, but I can only dream. It would really improve Calgary's tourism, etc. I'd just like to see Calgary as one of the big cities for these kind of cultural events. The Stampede is cool and all, but we don't have much else that is "world renowned".
A Back to the Future reunion would be cool. Michael J is Canadian and it's not like Doc Brown is doing anything big these days. Ghost Busters would be hard because of Bill Murray, I think everyone else would do it, but Bill would be the hard one to get.
