FanX Salt Lake comics convention announces cancellation of 2020 meet

The FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention that annually attracts 50,000 or more attendees has cancelled its 2020 meeting, organizers said in a release.

“Our top priority has always been and will continue to be the safety and well-being of our FanX family — which, unfortunately, at this point in time, means postponing FanX 2020,” the release said.

The convention announced its next event as Sept. 16-18, 2021. All tickets already purchased are automatically valid for the 2021 event or can be redeemed for another future event or gifted. Individuals requesting a refund can contact customer support before Aug. 15, the release stated.

Organizers also announced that elements of FanX, such as virtual celebrity meet-and-greet sessions, would be announced soon.
