The organizer's notice

Notes
2020: Cancelled (Apr. 17, 2020): the organizers "announced today with deep regret that there will be no Comic-Con in 2020. The event will instead return to the San Diego Convention Center from July 22-25, 2021"; WonderCon Anaheim (Apr. 10-12, 2020) likewise moved to Mar. 26-28, 2021; badge holders and exhibitors offered refunds or transfers; the official hotel affiliate cancelled all reservations (organizer site as captured Apr. 20, 2020; Ex. SEC-12-GM-124, P). 2021: The July 2021 in-person convention was not held; the organizer announced "Comic-Con Special Edition," a smaller in-person event over Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 26-28, 2021, post-period): "As conventions and events have had to cancel their in-person shows or have converted to virtual formats during the pandemic, some have been postponed to later years while others have been rescheduled to the later part of 2021, resulting in a very packed Convention Center calendar"; "Comic-Con Special Edition was never intended to be the large gathering reflective of the summer event. As a shorter event, it was our attempt to start slowly and cautiously" (organizer site as captured Apr. 1, 2021; Ex. SEC-12-GM-128, P). Usual dates: Late July (2020: July 23-26, 2020 planned; 2021: July 22-25, 2021 planned, replaced by Comic-Con Special Edition Nov. 26-28, 2021). Scale: not sourced (the organizer's notice addresses badge holders, exhibitors and the hotel block). Venue orders 2020: MET-SAN-003, CA-002, CA-007, CA-010. Venue orders 2021: CA-029, AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-111, CA-035.
