The Midwest Media Expo

From the creators of Youmacon comes the Midwest Media Expo: a one-of-a-kind pop culture and multimedia experience. Gaming, Television, Movies, Animation, and Comics. Make no mistake, it's not a Comic Con.

NOT CON!

We can’t begin to thank all of the attendees and fans of Midwest Media Expo for the amazing outpouring of support we have received in the 24 hours since our event was cancelled….

But we are going to try!

We’d like to invite you to a little fan appreciation event we will be hosting all weekend at the Radisson Detroit-Farmington Hills. We are still finalizing details, but we’re happy to announce that both David Eddings and Jon St John will be joining us for some up close and personal meet & greets and hangout time with their fans. There will be no admission fee for their events.

For those who are still in a convention mood, we’d also like to note that we are located just a short drive from both the Novi Sheraton, which is hosting Motor CIty Nightmares (www.motorcitynightmares.com/), and the Westin Southfield-Detroit, where the long running Penguicon (2017.penguicon.org) is being held.

The hotel staff has been amazingly accommodating about stepping up to help us put this together, and are offering a special room rate to those who still want a hotel weekend, just mention NotCon when you call to book your room. For more information: https://www.radisson.com/farmington-hills-hotel-mi-…/usafhmi

Stay tuned for more announcements!

Midwest Media Expo 2017

We are coming to you with a very heavy heart to inform you that, due to circumstances beyond our control, the 2017 Midwest Media Expo has been cancelled. For the past year we have been working hard to bring you a very special event, and it pains us greatly to have to make such an announcement, especially this close to our event date. We understand how much this event meant to everyone, and we apologize for this happening so suddenly. At this time, we are making arrangements to assist those displaced by this turn of events and those affected should expect we will be sending off notifications immediately to go over available alternatives.

We will be making further statements as we are able to discuss things, but know that we are working with good people to help us in this dark hour. Thank you very much for your understanding.

Morgan Kollin Chairman of the Midwest Media Expo
