History
In late 2006, Mike Broder sought to bring a large convention to south Florida. He mounted Florida Supercon at the Ramada Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. He organized Anime Supercon in Fort Lauderdale five months later. Both drew an estimated 2,000 people. After the unrelated Wizard World Raleigh Comic Con moved from Raleigh, North Carolina, to Winston-Salem in 2016, the company mounted Raleigh Supercon in July 2017. It drew an estimated 30,000 people for the weekend. Super Conventions later acquired the former Derby City Comic Con in Louisville, Kentucky, which was re-branded as Louisville Supercon for the November 2018 event. Two conventions, Animate! Florida (formerly known as Animate! Miami) and Paradise City Comic Con (formerly known as Magic City Comic Con), were discontinued in 2018 so Super Conventions could concentrate on their three Supercon events. Sale of Florida Supercon and convention name changes On March 11, 2019, it was announced that Broder sold Florida Supercon and the "Supercon" trademark to ReedPop of Norwalk, Connecticut. Also added are GalaxyCon events in Richmond, Virginia, and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Florida Supercon, now managed by ReedPop, will continue to have its annual event in early July. ==List of current GalaxyCon events==
