The Press Release:
Today, ReedPop – the world’s leading producer of pop culture events – announced that they will be retiring BookExpo, BookCon, and UnBound, effective immediately.

Earlier this year, ReedPop was forced to make the decision to cancel the in-person BookExpo, BookCon, and UnBound 2020 events, pivoting to BookExpo Online and BookConline bringing the industry together virtually for a global celebration of books. With continued uncertainty surrounding in-person events at this time, the team has concluded that the best way forward is to retire the current iteration of events as they explore new ways to meet the community’s needs through a fusion of in-person and virtual events that will reach larger audiences than they ever could before. The ReedPop team is actively engaging in conversations with publishers, booksellers, and other partners, and with their feedback and ideas they will together agree how to best rebuild the events in the future.

Hey there my friends, this is just a quick reminder announcement to make sure that you knew that the New York Comic Con Metaverse for 2020 is starting today. This virtual event comes on the heels of ReedPOP being forced to cancel the annual physical NYCC based on the Coronavirus Pandemic. As you might expect, this is no time to host an event that brings in more than a quarter million people into a single place. I’ve shared a few posts about the things to do during this virtual convention over on PiercingMetal.com and you can examine them by clicking HERE. There are a LOT of panels and a LOT of cool giveaways and exclusives that you can purchase from the same vendors that you would see while walking up and down the aisles of the Javits Center.

Editor’s Note: As with any of my redirection posts the means to comment on this notice is disabled but if you’d like to add your two cents to the mix you can do that over on PiercingMetal.com where all topical notions are moved to the head of the line. This is one of the event cancellations that hits me the hardest because we are pure bred geek culture and have been hitting this religiously since 2010. For your entertainment, I shared the first chapter of my photo gallery video down below. I just learned how to do this a few months ago and loaded it onto the PiericngMetal YouTube channel. Please subscribe if you like what we do over there as more is coming for sure. See you again soon with whatever we find interesting enough to share with you. See you then, stay healthy out there.
