FanX Salt Lake, Comic and Pop Culture Convention

FanX Salt Lake, Comic and Pop Culture Convention, is a three-day show confirmed for March 11 to 13, 2027 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, following a prior edition, FanX26, that ran around September 2026. At the time of this record, FanX27 badge sales had not opened, though the organizer's site shows the standing three-tier structure it plans to reuse: a three-day MultiPass at $79 covering Vendor Hall access and free Panel Programming, a Ruby Pass at $132 adding early Vendor Hall entry and merch perks, and a VIP Pass at $359 adding express lines for panels, autographs and photo ops along with reserved panel seating and priority panel-lottery entry. Celebrity and featured guests for 2027 had not yet been announced, and a dedicated Postponed Guests system lets fans who already hold a Photo Op or Autograph voucher for a guest who cancelled swap or upgrade it to a different guest through the organizer's ticketing partner, LEAP. Programming runs across named fixtures including Celebrity Row for autographs, an Artist Alley and Literary Lane, a Cosplay Contest judged through an online application and in-person pre-judging, an Anime Screening Room, a Haunted Hints Escape Room, a FanXchange meetup space, and the Dreamland Maid Cafe. Cosplayers travel under a detailed, twice-updated Cosplay and Weapons Policy: costume decency rules bar anything smaller than a standard swimsuit and ban hate symbols including historical ones, while the weapons policy permits lightweight approved-material props and costume weapons, tagged after a mandatory security inspection, while barring any bladed 'live steel,' functioning firearms, and most metal construction, with Nerf guns allowed only after their triggers are zip-tied and stripped of ammunition. The venue names a Quiet Room, a Mother's Room, an ADA Entrance and Water Stations among its accessibility accommodations, alongside a cosplay 'first aid' station for on-site repairs. The show suits Utah-based comics, cosplay and pop-culture fans tracking a long-running regional convention, families drawn by the Mother's Room and Quiet Room accommodations, and craft-focused cosplayers planning costumes and props around a clearly published, security-enforced policy
