    Oh, Florida: Tampa Bay Comic Con [Still] Happening in July

    If we were to ask you which state was most likely to go ahead with a large-scale convention amid the global pandemic, which of the American options would you have picked? Would it be Florida? Because [checks notes] it’s Florida.


    According to WFLA, the Tampa Bay Comic Con scheduled for July 10th-12th 2020 has been given the green light to go ahead with their event.

    Tampa Bay Comic Con confirmed it has received confirmation from the Tampa Convention Center and Tampa Fire Marshal that TBCC 2020 will move forward with numerous health measures to keep everyone safe. They posted about it on their Facebook page.

    You can read their statement below:

    Tampa Bay Comic Convention 2020 lives on! That’s right—the July 10-12, 2020, Tampa Bay Comic Convention has been green lit to proceed.

    After nearly two months of agonizing uncertainty, we have received confirmation from the Tampa Convention Center and Tampa Fire Marshal that TBCC 2020 will move forward with numerous health measures enacted by the venue and various levels of government, to keep attendees, exhibitors, guests, and staff as safe as possible. Below you’ll find some of the measures that will be enacted:

    1) Temperature screenings will be mandatory for all occupants prior to entering Tampa Convention Center. Those exhibiting temperatures above a certain level will not be allowed entry into the convention.

    2) Tampa Convention Center has increased cleaning and disinfection procedures in high-traffic areas such as elevators and escalators, handrails, benches, tables, handles, restrooms and more.

    3) Hand sanitizing stations shall be set through the pre-function space and high traffic areas at entrance points.

    4) Interior occupancy of the exhibit hall, ballrooms, and meeting rooms shall be strictly limited, with one-way ingress and one-way egress of all interior spaces.

    We’ve been waiting in limbo, not knowing and not having answers for quite a while. Now, we can resume guest announcements, along with exhibitor/artist alley invoicing, and guest bookings.

    We’re looking forward to another nerdy weekend at Tampa Bay Comic Convention, in less than two months!
