Staffing Decision Announced for Phoenix Comicon

1/24/2017

 
Press Release
For Immediate Release
Picture
January 23, 2017

After much deliberation, we have decided to shift to an all paid staff in the operation of Phoenix Comicon and all events associated with Square Egg Entertainment, including Phoenix Fan Fest, Minnesota Fan Fest, and Keen Halloween.

There are many individuals who helped make Phoenix Comicon one of the best run conventions in the country.  To them we owe our sincerest thanks and gratitude.  We hope that many of those who assisted us will apply for the new paid positions as we announce them.  In appreciation for everything you have done for us, those who served as volunteers in 2016 who are not selected for positions will receive two complimentary full event passes for PhoenixComicon 2017 and 2018 as our gift.  

We continue to support Blue Ribbon Army as a corporate member and through promotion of their group and activities.  We look forward to what they can accomplish and are excited to be a part of it.

While this was not the original decision as announced three weeks ago, nor was this the option selected by most of our volunteers, we do believe this is the best decision long term for our company and our conventions based on feedback and concerns raised.  It avoids further controversies as this industry changes, keeps us compliant with changing laws, and increases the professionalism and effectiveness of our team.    

As this discussion consumed social media and news outlets over the past three weeks, we have continued to work behind-the-scenes on making our events for 2017 stellar.  We look forward to sharing announcements on our upcoming guests and content at all our shows.  

Phoenix Comicon will continue to thrive and be a source of joy for thousands of attendees this year and in future years.

Thank you all for your discourse and feedback, 

Matthew Solberg
CEO, Square Egg Entertainment
Convention Director, Phoenix Comicon
Good morning,

This morning, the staff and volunteers for Phoenix Comicon received the final staffing decision from Matt Solberg and Square Egg Entertainment. The letter, in its entirety, is below. We are available for comments and questions all day.

Thank you,

Kristin Rowan
Square Egg Entertainment
