Our sixth “Planner of Productivity” is Andrew Moyes, vice president of Fan Expo HQ , producers of MEGACON Orlando. Before the pandemic, the company annually organized 17 events around North America, drawing more than one million attendees, exhibitors and niche retailers.

Through strategic partnerships with celebrities, brands, and fans, FAN EXPO HQ consistently delivers next-level experiences and boundary-pushing programming—like an official Oath of CItizenship ceremony witnessed by Star Wars stormtroopers and other sci-fi characters at FAN EXPO Canada in 2019.

Events were canceled in 2020, but Moyes found an upside amid the uncertainty: space for research and development to level up future events like this year’s MEGACON. Held at the Orange County Convention Center in August, the four-day extravaganza offered everything from beloved sci-fi celebrity guests to hourly performances by a Victorian horror-themed circus troupe.
