The Anaheim Convention Center, one of the market's largest demand engines, has been closed since March and repurposed as a COVID-19 testing center. Our contacts at the convention center anticipate the facility to reopen sometime in the spring of 2021. There are currently events scheduled as early as February; however, we are unsure whether these events will be canceled or postponed once again given the current situation. Three important events factoring into our forecast are WonderCon 2021, which is anticipated to take place in March; Natural Products Expo West, the convention center's second-largest annual convention, which has been rescheduled for May 2021; and NAMM, the convention center's largest annual conference, which has been canceled and is reportedly unlikely to be rescheduled for 2021. Visit Anaheim has been working to reschedule as many canceled conventions as possible; as such, a healthy convention calendar for 2022 and 2023 is expected, which should contribute to a strong recovery in those years.
So.... it's less than 2 months away, but no badges have been sold. And there are no announcements. It feels like WonderCon is cancelled, but why wouldn't CCI just announce that? There must be other issues at play.
