Florida Supercon is an annual comic book convention held in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale metro areas of Florida.^[1] The event takes place in early July. Florida Supercon is a subsidiary of ReedPop, located in Norwalk, Connecticut, acquired in March 2019.^[2] It was originally part of Super Conventions, or Supercon, which also had included events now branded as GalaxyCon.^[3][4]

The first Supercon was organized by founder Mike Broder in late 2006 at the Ramada Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida, called Florida Supercon.^[5][6] He was looking to bring a large scale convention to south Florida.^[7] Another event, Anime Supercon, took place in Fort Lauderdale five months later.^[8] Estimated attendances at each event averaged around 2,000 people.^[5][6][8] As success grew, other conventions were added throughout the Fort Lauderdale and Miami metro areas.

An attempt was made in November 2008 to hold a longstanding Supercon outside of Florida, in Atlanta, Georgia, but it was not as prosperous as the Florida events.^[9] Another try didn't take place until July 2017 with Raleigh Supercon in Raleigh, North Carolina, replacing the promotional Wizard World Raleigh Comic Con which eventually moved to nearby Winston-Salem after the 2015 event.^[10] Raleigh Supercon 2017 drew in an estimated 30,000 people for the weekend.^[3][11][12] Super Conventions later acquired the former Derby City Comic Con in Louisville, Kentucky, which was re-branded as Louisville Supercon.^[13] The inaugural event took place in November 2018.^[14][15]

Two other recent conventions, Animate! Florida (formerly known as Animate! Miami) and Paradise City Comic Con (formerly known as Magic City Comic Con^[16]), were discontinued in 2018 so Super Conventions could concentrate on their three Supercon events.^[3][4] Both of those had taken place in Miami.
