FAN EXPO Chicago was this week (August 16-18) at the Donald E Stephens Convention Center. They had a top-notch celebrity guest list and a ton of animation guests. The rest of our FAN EXPO CHICAGO 2024 Friday Cosplay photos are here in this article.
Rate the Con
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We plan to keep a rating system set up for many of the conventions.
[ays_poll id=153]
[ays_poll id=154]
[ays_poll id=155]
We realize that these don’t apply to all conventions, so if they don’t apply to your con, give them a 5 star.
**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**
FAN EXPO is a large company that runs events in both Canada and the USA. They have a lot of experience organizing these events in a variety of buildings. Despite what many are saying on the boards, FAN EXPO did meet ADA requirements. The aisles were up to the minimum specs and they provided accommodations for wheel chairs. Unfortunately for those with disabilities it does not seem that they provided a whole lot more than the minimum. One of the problems when dealing with crowds of this size is that there are a HUGE variety of people of all different ages, sizes and abilities. It is impossible to meet everyone’s standard and to accommodate everyone, so they go with what will work for the majority. I’m not saying I agree with it, it’s just how it works. FAN EXPO is a corporation and they think like a corporation.
