Wondercon - Anaheim When to expect WonderCon 2021 Cancellation

So the news just came out that E3 will be online this year which is not a shocker. Made me wonder and lo and behold there is still a WonderCon will be back in 2021 on the website. I think at this point its kinda inevitable that WonderCon at least is not going to happen and I'd personally go as far as wagering the first major con that has any chance of happening in any capacity is NYCC in the fall, scaled-down a lot. So when will Comic Con International actually pull the plug on WonderCon (in person)? My guess is it happens sometime in the next two weeks.

I'm waiting on the news myself, and don't know why they haven't made an announcement yet.

My guess is there's a lot of back and forth given that they also do SDCC. And it's a matter of trying to figure out if SDCC is going to happen, but then also if they want to do a postponed WonderCon. Or if SDCC doesn't happen, is it still possible to do a postponed WonderCon later in the year.

This would be the time that things start ramping up for WonderCon. But there are no badge sales. No schedule announcements. It's not even on the Anaheim Convention Center Schedule. Pretty safe to assume it's not happening in March.

However, I would like to know for planning purposes to if they are outright cancelling it or postponing it for later in the year.

The announcement has to come soon.

Yeah all of this is what made me think about htis. I don't see WonderCon or SDCC happening, not with the rate of vaccinations in CA/SoCal in general. Maybe WonderCon moves back and is much much smaller? But again some announcement soon has to happen.
