What’s New at Supercon 2026?
We’ve changed more than just our logo 😎
The BIG Changes 🚨
Important changes to locations, brand new additions, and things that everyone should know about!
The Main Stage Moves to the Show Floor
Presented by Rip It Energy Drink, Supercon’s Main Stage is moving to the Show Floor! Big panels featuring the hottest celebs, cosplay competitions, and more will be much more centrally located.
In collaboration with Popverse, the Main Stage is hosting several 'Fans First' panels where it’s all questions from the fans - submitted either pre-show or live during the panel - for Chainsaw Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We'll also have two reunion panels, titled 'Then, Now Next,' where the stars of the Josie & The Pussycats movie and the Hart of Dixie TV series reunite to look back, share secrets, and talk about legacy. These new FSC panels are smart, personal, and above all, centered on the people who care the most: you.
All you have to do is comment on this article by Monday, June 22 at 5:00 PM ET with your name, where you're from, the listed celebrity you have a question for, and the question itself.
