OMGYAY!

I am SO HAPPY I get to put up the new dates announcement guys! With everything going on, the Staff have worked hard with the Days Hotel by Wyndham Celebration to get the convention reset for a later time when everyone can join us.

The NEW DATES for Omni Fandom Expo 2020 are August 14-16!

Not only do we already have the new dates available, but the hotel has already given us the new reservation link to book rooms! To take care of your new reservation (if it hasn't already been moved to the new dates automatically), just follow the Hotel link!

OH! I almost forgot! The new dates come with LOWER HOTEL ROOM RATES too!! EEEEEEE!! The room rates are now $95/night!

Glitch and I CAN'T WAIT to see everyone on the new dates!

Ticketing will be opening back up as soon as the Staff is able to get it online with the new dates. =D

Stay safe and I'll see you all in August!

As fans ourselves, we always take pride in trying to put together the best event possible for everyone to enjoy. That being said, we of course are always concerned with the safety and well-being of everyone involved in Omni Fandom Expo. We have been in talks with the Days Hotel by Wyndham Celebration, our event location for next weekend, about the concerns of the currently evolving situation.

As a small business event, we rely on the patronage of merchants and attendees alike to maintain our show. Everyone on Staff has worked hard to make sure we could have been able to keep everyone as safe as possible and respond quickly to any situation.

That being said, we had many discussions between our location and Staff. It took a lot for us to come to our decision, but ultimately it was also required by the City of Kissimmee as well. We are deeply heartbroken for it to have come down to this.

We have chosen to postpone the convention to later in the year. Dates will be announced as soon as we have them finalized.

Merchants - your current table and booth fees will be rolled over to the new dates, including those whom had previously cancelled. Any attendees who have PreRegistration tickets will also be rolled over to our new dates. The only changes will be that Panelists will need to reschedule once the new dates are in our system.

Everyone with hotel room reservations may easily amend by contacting the hotel directly. New hotel reservation information will be made available as soon as we have it.

Please, stay home and take care of yourself if you feel any illness. We as a community all joke in good fun about "con plague" and how it can be inevitable but this time it may be no joke with everyone on heightened alert.

Thank you all for your support and we look forward to our next event!

-Omni Fandom Expo Staff

Greetings Omni Fandom Expo fans!

My name is Samantha and I am the convention owner. In my role, there are many things that I am responsible for beyond the setup and planning of the convention itself. I wanted to take a moment to address a concern that has been brought to us lately.

As March 20 rolls ever closer, we understand that there is concern over the coronavirus (COVID-19) and its impact on our event. We understand this concern and we are monitoring this situation closely.

We have been in contact with our event location, the Days Hotel by Wyndham Celebration, over this concern. They have assured us that they have increased their cleaning and disinfecting procedures in all public and high traffic areas of the hotel. They will also have Hand Sanitizing stations throughout the public area.

We also plan to have our own supplies on hand for our Staff to utilize to help in keeping Registration, Main Events, Panel Room, and Gaming as clean as possible. Of course, we will always recommend that all attendees and merchants take their own precautions and bring extra supplies of their own as we are aware that supply availability for cleaning and sanitation items is quite limited in our areas. Along the same line, we strongly suggest keeping an extra awareness for other's personal space and not touching or hugging anyone without their consent.

According to the CDC, "for the majority of people, the immediate risk of being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to be low. There is not widespread circulation in most communities in the United States."

They have also released the best preventative actions to keep in mind during this time.
"-Clean your hands often
-Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing, or having been in a public place.
-If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
-To the extent possible, avoid touching high-touch surfaces in public places – elevator buttons, door handles, handrails, handshaking with people, etc. Use a tissue or your sleeve to cover your hand or finger if you must touch something.
-Wash your hands after touching surfaces in public places.
-Avoid touching your face, nose, eyes, etc.
-Clean and disinfect your home to remove germs: practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces (for example: tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks & cell phones)"

The following is also the current known symptoms to keep an eye for:
"-Pay attention for potential COVID-19 symptoms including, fever, cough, and shortness of breath. If you feel like you are developing symptoms, call your doctor.
-If you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19 get medical attention immediately. In adults, emergency warning signs*:
    * Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
    * Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
    * New confusion or inability to arouse
    * Bluish lips or face"

The CDC has advised those whom are older or have compromised immune systems should take extra precaution to reduce risks, however, keep in mind that at this time the risk of getting influenza is higher than COVID-19.

For more information about the coronavirus, please check the CDC website as they provide updates with new information.

We are continuing to get everything ready for next weekend and we look forward to hanging out with everyone in Kissimmee.

Thank you all for your support!

HIIIIII everyone!!! I'm so excited. Can you tell I'm excited?!

I get to announce not just one, but TWO guests today! (I know, I know, if you were at Rangerstop's convention last weekend (Nov 8-10) you would've already seen this announcement early, BUT STILL!)

Welcome FIRST TIME GUEST Neil Kaplan and Omni Guest Alum Paul St. Peter to Omni Fandom Expo 2020! Aaaah, so excited!! ~<3 <3 Omni-tan

Neil Kaplan is making his first return appearance to Florida in about a decade, so don't miss out on saying hi! Neil is an American voice actor, entertainer and comedian. He is known for voicing Madara Uchiha in Naruto: Shippuden, Optimus Prime in Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai in Bleach, and Emperor Zarkon in Voltron: Legendary Defender. He joins Paul St. Peter as an alum of Digimon, voicing Halsemon, Hawkmon, Aquilamon, and many others.

Some may also recognize Neil's voice from BeetleBorgs as the villain Hornix (and others), from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue as the villain Diabolico, and from Power Rangers Time Force as the villain Gluto. Gamers may recognize Neil Kaplan from Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty & Heroes of the Storm as Tychus Findley, from League of Legends as Aurelion Sol, from Guild Wars 2 as Bloody Prince Thorn (and several others), from World of Warcraft & Hearthstone as Cenarius, or from Destiny 2 as Dominus Ghaul.

Paul St. Peter is of course a 3-year alum guest to Omni Fandom Expo. He loves seeing everyone and hanging out so much that he looks forward to returning every year! He is best known for Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts, Nine Tailed Fox in Naruto, Wormmon & Leomon in Digimon, among many many others.

Hello everyone! We hope you've all had a fantastic summer! And with Fall well underway, it's time to get those 2020 engines going!

We'd like to start off the season by letting everyone know about an update with our location. Our previous announcement mentioned that we would be at the Park Inn by Radisson in Kissimmee. While we are still at this location, the hotel has been undergoing a renovation and brand change!

We are happy to say the current name of the hotel is Days Hotel by Wyndham Celebration. We are currently working with them to get the hotel reservation links set up. We will make another announcement as soon as that goes online!

Coming soon, though, is what we know you all look forward to - guest announcements! We've got a couple in the pipeline, and we can't wait to share with you!!

To all of our merchants - we know you have been eagerly awaiting the announcement of applications opening. Please be patient, we hope to have that ready coming soon now that we've gotten some needed info from our hotel! As always we will announce here when applications open!
