Cosplay Girls, Phoenix Comic-Con 2012, Arizona, United States

The convention was held in January from 2007 to 2009, at the Mesa Convention Center. Attendance jumped past 3,200 and we further fulfilled the promise of being the signature pop culture event in the southwest. 2007 was also considered the conventions first foray into media guests, with Feedback, the winner of "Stan Lee's Who Wants to be a Superhero" attending. In 2009 the event was expanded to 3 days, with a Thursday preview night. It was also announced at the 2009 convention that due to an overwhelming attendance of around 7,000 people for that year, the convention in 2010 will be moving to the Phoenix Convention Center the next year, along with the dates changing to the end of May.
• 2010-Current
Beginning in 2010 the convention was held on Memorial Day weekend, at the Phoenix Convention Center and Hyatt hotel in Phoenix, Az. This change was due to the large increase in attendance, and the availability of funds to hold the convention in a larger venue. Bigger names, such as Leonard Nimoy, George Takei, and Stan Lee also began to attend the convention as special guests.
