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.[12] Another try didn't take place until July 2017 with Raleigh Supercon in North Carolina, replacing the promotional Wizard World Raleigh Comic Con which eventually moved to nearby Winston-Salem after the 2015 event.[13] Raleigh Supercon 2017 drew in an estimated 30,000 people for the weekend.[2][4][14] Super Conventions later acquired the former Derby City Comic Con in Louisville, Kentucky, which has been re-branded as Louisville Supercon.[15] The inaugural event took place in November 2018.[5] Two other recent conventions, Animate! Florida (formerly known as Animate! Miami) and Paradise City Comic Con (formerly known as Magic City Comic Con), were discontinued in 2018 so Super Conventions could concentrate on their three Supercon events.[2][3] Both of those had taken place in Miami.
