Fan Expo New Orleans 2027, the Fan Expo, is back in New Orleans, United States from 8 January 2027 to 10 January 2027, once again bringing the sector together in one place. Think of it as the sector's trading floor — a concentrated space where supply meets demand and orders get written. Its annual cadence means there is always a next date on the horizon to aim for. Some 30000 attendees are projected to attend across the run of the event. It is staged by Informa Connect, whose experience shows in every detail of the programme. Ernest N. Morial Convention Center provides the backdrop, with the space and facilities to match the programme.

Few cities suit an event like this as well as New Orleans. As a destination, New Orleans combines accessibility, hospitality and a character all its own. New Orleans is well connected by air and supported by an extensive local transport network, so travelling in from abroad or elsewhere in the United States is rarely a hassle. Book ahead and you will have your pick of New Orleans's hotels, from the practical to the memorable.

Exhibitors showcase Cosplay, Comics, Anime, Pop Culture and Entertainment, Media & Culture, making it easy to discover new products, materials and business partners under one roof. It compresses the sales cycle, letting buyers see, touch and compare before a single follow-up email is sent. Generous breaks and social sessions leave plenty of room to network.

You arrive with a shortlist and leave with suppliers, samples and a plan for the season ahead. Fan Expo New Orleans 2027 remains a key fixture for sourcing managers, brand owners and supply-chain teams, and an edition worth planning for.
