Fan Expo Vancouver 2027, the Fan Expo, brings the industry to Vancouver, Canada from 13 February 2027 to 15 February 2027. Trade professionals treat it as essential groundwork: a single trip that replaces months of scattered supplier visits. On an annual cycle, it gives the industry a regular moment to regroup and look ahead. Expect to join around 40000 attendees over the course of the event. Credit for the smooth running goes to Informa Connect, who shape the programme end to end. Vancouver Convention Centre hosts, pairing practical facilities with a location that keeps attendees close to the action.

When the host city is Vancouver, half the appeal is already in place — a well-connected, welcoming base with plenty to offer once the day is done. Reaching Vancouver is straightforward, with strong international connections and local transport that make getting to the venue easy. Hotels close to the venue fill up around event dates, so booking early is wise — Vancouver is a popular destination year-round. There is life after the last session here: Vancouver's food scene, culture and landmarks make for a fuller trip. As one of Canada's key destinations, Vancouver regularly hosts events that draw an international crowd.

From everyday essentials to specialist lines, Cosplay, Comics, Anime, Pop Culture and Entertainment, Media & Culture run right across the exhibition. Face time is the real currency here, and the layout is designed to maximise it — fewer emails, more handshakes. From organised meetups to spontaneous conversations, the room is built for making connections.

Expect to leave with new partners, fresh leads and a better feel for the sector. For trade professionals, agents and distributors, Fan Expo Vancouver 2027 remains a valuable opportunity to source, connect and keep pace with the market.

Give yourself a realistic plan for each day — the schedule is full, and trying to see everything is a fast route to seeing very little.
