ReedPOP, the world's largest producer of pop culture events, is continuing to blanket the world with large scale fan events, with the announcement of Shanghai Comic Convention. The convention will take place May 16-17, 2015, and will bring the worlds of comics, cinema, television, toys and videogames to fans from all across Asia. Attendees will have the chance to meet creators, stars, and actors while they discover exclusive content and the latest pop culture news.

Global Senior Vice President of ReedPOP, Lance Fensterman shared his thoughts on holding a convention in China:

China is a massive frontier for ReedPOP, a huge market and boundless community of fans that we are eager and enthusiastic to build events for. This is a huge opportunity for the millions of fans in the country who haven't experienced a ReedPOP event and we can't wait to see how they respond. Geekdom is a universal language and we're sure that the Chinese people will celebrate fan culture in their own unique and amazing ways.

It all started with ReedPOP's first event, New York Comic Con, in 2006. Since then, they have made connection and gained the support of major creators and partnerships with leading entertainment brands including Lucasfilm (Star Wars Celebration), UFC (UFC Fan Expo), Twitch (TwitchCon) and Penny Arcade (PAX). Over the past few years, ReedPOP has turned its attention internationally, having events in London, Paris, Germany, India, Singapore, and Australia. Now they will be able to add Shanghai to the extensive list. The inaugural event will take place at the Shanghai Convention & Exhibition Center of International Sourcing.
