Today is a big day for Supergirl.tv! As you know, we don't have advertisements on the site but we do have an affiliates section. Affiliates are sites/services/events that we believe will enrich your Supergril experience and are personally vetted by us to make sure the affiliate has your best interests at heart. For the longest time we've had three affiliates we believe in. Well today we are so excited to announce a fourth! Super Fan Convention! So many of us have gone to Comic Con, Wonder Con, or even our local city comicbook conventions and the amount and scale of those events, while impressive, can make it very difficult to find time with the specific love you went there to experience. Super Fan Convention is here to solve that very hurt. A convention solely for the fans of Supergirl!!!! We took a moment to talk with the organizers about this tremendous convention and here's what they had to say:
What is Super Fan Con?
Super Fan Con is a fan-run endeavor to unite the Supergirl Fandom in one place and show our support for our favorite show. We want to bring fans together from all over the globe to spend time with each other and to get a chance to meet some of the amazing actors from the show.
What separates your convention from other cons?
As opposed to the large corporations who run multiple TV show conventions, we are solely dedicated to running a convention for the show Supergirl. We are also not a large corporation but two fans dedicating their time and resources to make this convention for all fans a reality. The convention is also limited to 500 seats to provide a more intimate experience for those in attendance.
Who can we expect to see? Will there be more guests in the future?
We currently have 4 guests announced, Mehcad Brooks, Dean Cain, Brenda Strong and Sachin Sahel. We are working on adding more guests to the convention. To be transparent with our attendees and potential attendees, the amount of guests we are able to add really depends on other fans' support. As we are just two fans putting this convention together, our financial resources are finite but with the support of other fans willing to purchase passes and extras, we will be able to move forward with securing more guests.
Are there any autographs and photo opportunities?
Absolutely, every one of our Guests will participate in Autographs and Photo ops throughout the convention. Attendees can find tentative schedule information for these opportunities under our Schedule tab of the website. We are also able to offer very limited, yet special, Meet and Greet opportunities. The Meet and Greet opportunities, allow fans to spend 30 minutes with a Guest in a more intimate setting. Only 10 attendees will be allowed to attend a meet and greet with any one guest.
Are there any special events going on?
On Friday, we will host our Friday night welcome party for attendees. We’ll have some fun surprises in store for our attendees at this event. On Saturday, we will host a themed Saturday night party for attendees. Our attendees have the ability to vote on the theme via our website under the FAQ page. Sachin Sahel and quite possibly other guests will attend to have some fun with our attendees. We are also proud to support the BC SPCA and we will be holding a special auction for attendees to bid on items not otherwise available. The funds raised will be donated to the BC SPCA.
When and where is Super Fan Con taking place? Do you have any recommendations on where fans should stay during their visit?
Our convention is taking place, September 8-10, 2017 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It is being held at the beautiful, Pinnacle Harbourfront Vancouver. Attendees receive a special rate from the hotel if they book through our website under the venue tab. Under the venue tab, attendees and potential attendees can see pictures and video of our host venue.
All very exciting news and with more guests on the way, this sounds like a fan's best opportunity to meet fellow fans of the show as well as the actors themselves! Furthermore, we'll be giving away some free passes in the future so stay tuned for that. If you want more information on the con, or are already looking to get tickets, visit their website here! Also, if you ever wanted to meet us in person, we will be there as well!
Let us know if you think you can attend and or your thoughts on the convention in the comments below and in the forum! Superfancon also has a user account here and can answer your questions here if you like. As always, consider visiting the support page too and keep us advertisement free!

Quoting Green Stuff:
That's all I wanted to know...and we expect a full report and pictures!
Hope all attending have a great time and that you share some of the weekend with us long distance fans
Quote:Curious as to know what if anything Warner Brothers, DC and CBS have to say (WB and CBS co-own CW, and WB distributes the show & DC, it's self-explanatory).
And now, for the $10,000,000 question (it was $64, then $64,000, then $1,000,000...inflation y'know), is Supergirl.TV going? Given the dates and proximity it would be a crime to NOT go.
