GalaxyCon Expands Its Horizons
In a remarkable strategic move,
GalaxyCon, the leading independent consumer fan engagement company, has recently announced its acquisition of three prominent conventions from
Incredible Conventions LLC. This acquisition marks a significant expansion for GalaxyCon, allowing it to tap into two new markets: Charleston, South Carolina, and Nashville, Tennessee, while also reinforcing its presence in Savannah, Georgia.
The newly acquired conventions include the popular
Superstar Comic Con in Savannah, the thriving
Nashville Comicon, and the engaging
Incredible Con located in Charleston. Each of these events has garnered a loyal following and established its own unique identity within the fan community. The re-launch of these events under the GalaxyCon branding is scheduled for 2026, promising fans an even more enhanced experience.
Mike Broder, the founder of GalaxyCon, expressed excitement about this latest venture, noting the unique qualities that these conventions bring to their portfolio. He stated, “We’re excited about this expansion that will bring us into two new markets and will also give us a second show in Savannah. Mike Federali and his team at Incredible Conventions have created something really special with these shows, and we look forward to having them as part of our GalaxyCon family.”
The deal was facilitated by
Peter Katz, Senior Vice President of Business Development at GalaxyCon, alongside Incredible Conventions’ president, Mike Federali, who will also consult for GalaxyCon during this transition. Federali will continue to manage other successful events under his company, including
Tidewater Comicon,
Hampton Comicon, and a variety of anime conventions throughout the region.
The acquisition solidifies GalaxyCon’s position as the largest geek culture convention organization in North America, with over 20 events now scheduled for 2026. Last year, GalaxyCon events brought an impressive $42 million to local economies, a figure anticipated to nearly double in the coming year.
“It just makes perfect sense for both parties,” remarked Federali. “This allows us at Incredible Conventions to expand our footprint while I enjoy more precious moments with my family. I have immense respect for Mike Broder and the GalaxyCon team, and I’m eager to assist in this exciting transition.”
GalaxyCon has experienced unparalleled growth over the last two years, a trend that seems set to continue with this latest acquisition and the entry into new markets. Katz described it as, “Simply put, no convention company has ever seen the growth and expansion that GalaxyCon has in the past two years. We’re enthusiastic about the possibilities that lie ahead in these exciting new locations.”
Further details about these upcoming events are expected to be shared in the coming months. For fanatics eager to stay updated on GalaxyCon and their events, additional information can be found on their official website at
