LeftField Media
has announced that it’s ready to bring back its in-person events, much to the delight of the fans and exhibitors of its Awesome Con, Rose City Comic Con, Anime NYC and Anime Frontier shows. The company will work closely with its host venues to fulfill its top priority — the health and safety of all who come to its events — through compliance with all CDC and state guidelines.
“We are excited and honored to be bringing this amazing community of fans, exhibitors, guests, and industry professionals back together in-person. There is something so remarkable about in-person events, those opportunities for genuine moments of human interaction and connection that cannot be easily replicated or replaced,” said Kelly Comboni, President of LeftField Media.
First up will be Awesome Con, which plans to bring more than 70,000 comic fans to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., in August. Rose City Comic Con is scheduled for the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Ore., in September. The company will round out the year with Anime New York, which will be held in November at the Javits Center in New York; and Anime Frontier, scheduled to be held in December at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Tickets for all shows are now available online.
