Founded on March 18, 2007, as a one-day show at the Back Bay Events Center, Boston Comic Con has grown each year and subsequently expanded to two days in 2009 and three days in 2014. The convention moved to the Westin Waterfront Hotel in 2010 and the Hynes Convention Center in 2011. Following a cancellation in April 2013 due to the
Boston Marathon bombing, Boston Comic Con relocated to the
Seaport Hotel and Seaport World Trade Center in South Boston's seaport district. Immediately following the 2016 convention it was announced that the convention had been sold to London-based
Informa, producers of the Fan Expo line of conventions, and would be moving in 2017 to the nearby
Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Despite advertising the 2017 convention as BCC's 10th anniversary, the convention opened as "Fan Expo Boston", with the Comic Con name effectively retired from 2018 onward.
