SEC-12-GM-124, P). 2021: The July 2021 in-person convention was not held; the organizer announced \u0022Comic-Con Special Edition,\u0022 a smaller in-person event over Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 26-28, 2021, post-period): \u0022As conventions and events have had to cancel their in-person shows or have converted to virtual formats during the pandemic, some have been postponed to later years while others have been rescheduled to the later part of 2021, resulting in a very packed Convention Center calendar\u0022; \u0022Comic-Con Special Edition was never intended to be the large gathering reflective of the summer event. As a shorter event, it was our attempt to start slowly and cautiously\u0022 (organizer site as captured Apr. 1, 2021; Ex. SEC-12-GM-128, P). Usual dates: Late July (2020: July 23-26, 2020 planned; 2021: July 22-25, 2021 planned, replaced by Comic-Con Special Edition Nov. 26-28, 2021).
