Guests

(Fan Expo)

Whether it’s your first time at Fan Expo or a long-awaited return, there’ll be no shortage of familiar faces.

Expect a hefty lineup of celebrities, voice actors, creators, and popular cosplayers.

Over the course of the weekend, visitors will have the chance to meet them at Photo Ops and Autograph Signings, or see them live on-stage during panels (along with the chance to ask them questions!).

Shopping

(Fan Expo)

It’s time to find that comic book or video game that you loved as a kid. Who knows, at Fan Expo Vancouver, you might even meet the person who made it!

Not to mention, you’ll likely find some art or fanware that will blow your mind.

The event will boast more than 150 vendors and artists, so come early and get ready for the hunt. Make sure to bring cash though, as ATMs at the event can often run out of cash.

Panels

Make sure to check the website (or the app!) to see the weekend schedule and plan your days accordingly.

You’ll get a chance to hear from your favourite stars and creators live on stage, and sometimes, the chance to hear big news before it breaks! Last year, for example, Doctor Strange’s Benedict Wong revealed when filming would begin on the sequel.

Fan Cosplay

Come for the con, stay for the cosplay.

Showing off, checking out, and snagging pictures of weekend cosplays, for many, is the best part of the Fan Expo experience. Just be sure to ask permission and be respectful before taking photos!

To see the absolute best that the weekend has to offer, be sure to check out the costume contest on Saturday night!
