Amazing Comic Conventions

What Amazing Comic Conventions does

Amazing Comic Conventions is a privately held, family-run events company that produces annual live pop-culture conventions. The flagship product is the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con, a three-day event founded in 2013 that has operated out of multiple Las Vegas venues — South Point, Las Vegas Convention Center, Plaza Hotel — and as of 2026 relocates to the Mardi Gras and Esplanade Ball Rooms at The Orleans Hotel & Casino. The company extends its portfolio through a secondary event brand, Amazing Comic Con Aloha, held in Hawaii. Programming centers on comic creators, anime, video games, cosplay, and collectibles, targeting fans, families (with free admission for children 10 and under), cosplayers, and a fourth constituency of comic dealers and artists who exhibit in the Artist Alley and vendor booths.

The product and revenue stack is event-driven rather than platform-based. There is no proprietary technology stack; operations rely on the Wix-hosted marketing site, a Gmail address for inquiries, third-party social channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram), and TIXR as the ticketing platform. Three primary revenue streams are documented: ticket sales, exhibitor/artist-alley booth fees, and convention-exclusive merchandise. Tickets are tiered into General Admission single-day ($30–$35), Full Weekend 3-Day Pass ($65), VIP Admission ($185, capped at 100), Kids VIP ($25, capped at 35), and limited-supply premium add-on upgrades at $50–$100 paired with creator signings and foil editions. The 2026 vendor footprint comprises 100 exhibitor booths and over 200 artist alley spaces, both reportedly sold out, on a 30,000+ square-foot show floor.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, event-driven, and concentrated on the Las Vegas venue anchor. Distribution flows through online ticket sales via TIXR (best pricing), on-site box office, direct sales of booth space to dealers and artists, and a hotel group-code reservation channel via The Orleans (code AZCE26C) with free parking. The customer base is fragmented across individual attendees and small-business vendors, with no named enterprise customers and no disclosed ARR or contract data. The company reports 51–100 employees and is headquartered in Sherman Oaks, California, with operations managed by Jimmy S. Jay under founding family ownership and no institutional funding or parent company disclosed.
