Comic Events and Conventions
CONVENTIONS
This is a great literacy promoting event that runs in multiple cities across Canada, the closest being Kitchener. While not comic-focused, there are always comic stores and events at the various cons, and a ton of book-sellers and book-related programming. The Dragon works regularly with this event, providing guest speakers and panels. This year, it takes place on Sunday, September 26th, 2010. These guys run a bunch of different conventions for comics and anime. Their big 3-day show in August has programming and guests for comics, anime, gaming, horror, and sci-fi. This year, 1-day comic shows are November 22nd, 2009, February 28th, 2010. There's a 2-day show June 5th-6th, 2010, and the FanExpo is August 27th to 29th, 2010. Formerly the Paradise Toronto Comicon, now a Wizard World show! We'll keep you posted on an announcement about the 2011 con! This is the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, and your best chance to meet all your independent and small press faves, as well as find out about the coolest up-and-comers. The next one is May 8th to 9th, 2010 at the Toronto Reference Library. Check their website for guests and more details. This site is devoted to giving you up-to-date news and reports from conventions all around the world. Go to this site and link to any con your heart desires.EVENTS
