Default CCEE to become Fan Expo Calgary

Looks like the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo has been bought out by Informa/Fan Expo.

They appear to have sold the Calgary and Edmonton shows, and the Saskatoon show is reverting back to it's original owners.

Interesting change, to be sure.

I'll be checking out the Vancouver Fan Expo next month.

I'll post my review!

Must have been a great payday for the guys who started it out as a fan/volunteer thing originally. I wonder how this will affect the flavor of it or perhaps inject more capital to bring it up a notch.

Fan Expo definitely gets the better artists and writers to the con. Prepare to pay though. Things just got a lot more expensive.

From someone I know who works the convention circuit, he didn't sound overly positive about the change. Guess we'll just have to see how it turns out.

Media guests seem to be the same everywhere outside of San Diego. I'm more interested in the artist and writer guests improving.
