LA Comic Con plans on moving forward with holding the in-person convention in December with limited capacity at the LA Convention Center. However, they plan on doing this even though large gatherings like conventions and conferences are currently banned in California due to the coronavirus pandemic. The event’s organizers explained announcement on the L.A. Comic Con website that they've been working with the convention center and taking guidance from state and local officials to make sure this event will “be both safe and fun” for attendees and exhibitors.
The executive director of the Los Angeles Department of Convention and Tourism Development, Doane Liu, told The Times that this announcement has come as a surprise and is premature. “Under current state health guidelines, conventions are not allowed. It’s not known when they will be allowed.”
