Calgary Expo, known in full as the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, is an annual fan convention held at Stampede Park in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Originally taking place in the BMO Centre, the show began in 2005 as a comic book convention before moving on in 2009 to include actors from television shows and movies. The convention has since become the second largest convention in Canada.[2] The convention became famous for having reunited the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation for the show's 25th anniversary in 2012, and two years later, reuniting nearly the entire cast of Aliens (1986).
In 2017, Informa acquired the convention, placing it under its Fan Expo group.[3][4]
