FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mid-Ohio-Con to Merge with Ohio Comic Con

 

The New Mid-Ohio-Con 2008 Scheduled for October 4-5 in Columbus, Ohio

 

Monday, May 19, 2008 - Columbus, Ohio

GCX Holdings LLC announced today that it has reached an agreement to merge Mid-Ohio-Con

with Ohio Comic Con. The new Mid-Ohio-Con will bring together the best that both conventions

have to offer with respect to special guest list, programming, schedule, venue, and

organizational teams. Mid-Ohio-Con 2008 will take place on the weekend of October 4-5 at the

Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio.

 

"I couldn't be more excited about this development," said James Henry, Managing Director of

GCX Holdings, which recently acquired Mid-Ohio-Con. "I strongly believe that Mid-Ohio-Con and

Ohio Comic Con will be far better together than they would be separately. This combination is a

great outcome for everybody involved, including our creative guests, retailers and other

exhibitors, and especially the loyal fans who have attended Mid-Ohio-Con year after year."

 

"We are very happy to be combining Ohio Comic Con with Mid-Ohio-Con," said Teresa

Colegrove, Co-Founder of Ohio Comic Con and Packrat Comics. "Our primary goal in forming

Ohio Comic Con was always to ensure that there was a great convention in our home state, and

we've certainly accomplished that with the combination of our two events. We have lots of new

ideas that we're looking forward to contributing to this year's Mid-Ohio-Con."

 

"I'm certainly pleased to see this combination take place," said Roger Price, Founder of Mid-

Ohio-Con. "Our new team has a lot of energy and enthusiasm as well as innovative ideas and I'm

look forward to working with them on this year's event. We've just launched our new web site

and stay tuned in the coming weeks for news about additions to our guest list for Mid-Ohio-Con

2008, as well as some exciting new additions to our programming schedule."
