Salt Lake Comic Con 2015 is on track to be another record breaking
event

SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Salt Lake Comic Con 2015 (http://saltlakecomiccon.com/)
goes where no comic con has gone before as it kicks off its third annual
Salt Lake Comic Con event. The Salt Lake City convention is expected to
be the biggest and most successful event to date for Utah-based Dan Farr
Productions.

Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes joined Dan Farr, Salt Lake Comic Con
Founder and Producer, Bryan Brandenburg, Salt Lake Comic Con Co-Founder
and Chief Marketing Officer, and a group of celebrity guests at a press
conference to open Salt Lake Comic Con 2015.

“The Third Annual Salt Lake Comic Con has been so much fun to organize
and we’re confident that this one will be special. We say this every
year, but we anticipate this convention will be our biggest and most
successful,” said Farr. “One of the coolest parts of organizing these
shows is seeing how it’s impacting the community, the local economy and
how Utah is being recognized all over the world for its ability to host,
support and put on a world class event. And I love the pride I see in
our fans for helping us put Salt Lake Comic Con on the international
map.”

Salt Lake Comic Con 2015 will feature a number of fan favorite
celebrities, including Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Anthony Mackie,
Sebastian Stan, Jenna Coleman, Anthony Daniels, Ian Somerhalder, Felicia
Day, Marina Sirtis, Oliver and James Phelps, John Barrowman, Sean Astin
and Manu Bennett. For a full list of celebrity attendees, click here.

In addition to the celebrity attendees, Salt Lake Comic Con will attempt
to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people
dressed as comic
book characters, combined with a Superhero Run to raise money for
the Specialty Hospital of Utah. Salt Lake Comic Con will attempt to
break the record on Friday, September 25, 2015 at 6:00 pm. The current
record is 1,530 and was set in China in 2011.

“We’re on track for this to be our most successful event to date. We’re
the largest comic con in the world per capita, the third largest comic
con in the country and the most attended convention in the history of
the State of Utah,” said Brandenburg. “Salt Lake Comic Con brings the
glamour of Hollywood to Utah and has created a cultural phenomenon that
helps celebrate heroes in our community and serves as a beacon of hope
to the entire state and the communities in which we live, work and play.
We promise astonishment, wonder and surprise this year.”
