MegaCon
MegaCon, short for Mega Convention, is a large convention that caters to the anime, sci-fi, comic, and fantasy community, occurring between late February and early March at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
Coliseum of Comics of Orlando, Florida has been the sponsor of MegaCon since 2005. Collectors and fans of all ages and genres can convene to discuss, buy, and sell various merchandise of their favorite TV shows, movies, and entertainment. These can include, but are not limited to: Star Wars, Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, comic books, and anime. Events include annual cosplay/costume contest, hall costume contest, rpg gaming, panels, and dances. In the past, anime activities have been primarily coordinated by Anime Sushi/Cyberia. Also at the convention are various famous names in the genre, with everyone from The Hulk to Chewbacca (Star Wars) to Captain Spaulding (House of 1000 Corpses) appearing to sign autographs and chat with fans. As with many conventions, attendees can volunteer through the website to work 12 hours during the convention to pay for their ticket. They have added a mini megacon for the summer time. Its set in August 22nd-23rd.
Since 2001, MegaCon has also been the location of the long running "Paranoia LIVE!" LARP, based on Mongoose Publishing's Paranoia.
August 2008 MegaCon announced that it will host the first inaugural Project Fanboy Awards ceremony, awarding authors, writers and publishers with honors voted on by internet users on the Project Fanboy website.
In September 2008, MegaCon headquarters moved from Orlando to Live Oak, Florida, although the actual convention is still slated to remain in Orlando.
