Oh wow. I...might be able to go finally.  This is always during my tax busy season so I can never go.

My only concern is that it is so close to Comic Con, I may not have the funds to spend on anything.

Perfect!

Yet it is right before D23, but I’ll take it.

August! I wasn't expecting it to get bounced all the way to August, but I actually like it. It's an empty convention month all around (besides D23, though that keeps on moving around too)...perhaps since no one dares be that close to SDCC, but oh well. I'll probably be broke too but I don't spend that much at SVCC anyway.

(And LOL at the "Continue to SVCC" button on their website redirecting in a loop... :X )

That's funny, Worldcon is happening this year around the same time, but of course it moves every year.

While I'm glad it doesn't conflict with WonderCon I'm not sure I'm a fan of it being in August. Besides the fact it means it'll be nearly 18 months between SVCC's but an end of summer for a Con? I guess we'll see.

Also, did SVCC always have a Salt Lake City, Utah headquarters address??

It's actually right after GenCon too, so my husband and I will be going to 3 cons with a month!

Yeah. SVCC (and Woz) have a lot of ties to Utah. For one, the CEO (Trip Hunter) lives there.

Oh I thought maybe the organizers of SLCC might have taken over SVCC!!!

In 2019 it will be in Ireland, so I don't anticipate too much audience, guest, or vendor cannibalization. ;)

Most of the people commenting on their FB thread are not happy with the change of dates. Granted some of their reasoning is honestly pretty ridiculous (4 weeks away from Comic-Con! 2 weeks from Dragon Con! ::) OMG THATS 2500 MILES AWAY) But yeah, I get it. The new dates are fine with me but I wish they wouldn’t have caved on principle.

'2 weeks away from' or '4 weeks away from' are just fine. 'Completely overlapping with' is not. They have now avoided that problem.

Exactly! I’m trying for next year’s D23 and I don’t mind  that SVCC is a week before Disney’s main event. D23 is happening on August 23-25. To be fair, it is easier for me to do both, since I can drive to both locations unlike some who can’t. Flying isn’t cheap so I understand. Likewise, for those who can’t ask off from work so much.

SVCC had to change the dates. WonderCon alone was about to take away a lot from SVCC.

I do know that there were a lot of vendors at SVCC who were upset about the overlap with WonderCon (I heard about this from talking to people at SVCC this year). They exhibit at both cons, but didn't have the financial recourses to do 2 cons in one weekend. My guess is that it was the exhibitor complaints more than the attendee complaints that was the catalyst for change.
