The annual expo featured 400 artists and even more exhibitors, many of whom are locally based, dedicated to different fields of pop culture such as comic books, video games and anime.
According to Chris D’Lando, event manager at ReedPOP which organizes C2E2, organizers were diligent with McCormick Place in establishing health and safety protocols, which included recommending masks, as well as implementing sanitation and filtration protocols around crowded areas on the show floor.
This year’s attendance bounced back significantly from the 2021 event as more fans were comfortable attending large gatherings in public spaces, D’Lando said. However, this year’s 65,000 attendees were approximately 30,000 short of C2E2’s record attendance in 2020, which took place just two weeks before the COVID-19 lockdowns.
Gordon, who is also a former president of the Screen Actors Guild, encouraged actors and entertainers to engage with fans through events like C2E2, citing his own excitement to interact with fans post-pandemic. However, he also acknowledged that new variants of COVID can continue to pose a health risk for actors and fans alike.
Werner shared Gordon’s sentiments, admitting that he looks forward to a more crowded expo in the future, which can help exhibitors network and build their fanbases, but more importantly, boost their businesses and profits as they recover from the aftermath of the pandemic.
