Hi everbody!

When will the first guests officially be announced?

Laura Vandervoort and the Avellan twins have already been announced.

[Geronimo]

Thank you! Sorry for asking, but I'm new in this forum and that will be my first Showmasters Convention.

Do you know any guests from Collectormanias in the past? Are there only Comic & Sports stars? Or is it possible to see more TV/Movie Stars like Laura and the twins?

[Queen_Sindel]

First of all, never apologize for a question. That's what the mods are here for, to help people around.

Actually the majority of guests usually are TV and movie stars. It looks like the CM Milton Keynes website is down at the moment - probably because the event is only again in summer 2013 - but Wikipedia does have an overview of past Comic Con guests. Maybe this gives you a first impression: http://en.wikipedia....m_and_Comic_Con

That looks great! I have to book my flights soon :-)

As we've had a lot of GoT at LFCC how about a few less but one BIG one instead, that would make me happy and a lot of Non GoT fans *maisie williams* cough

I have been checking the website constantly and there has been no mention of any guests whatsoever:(

They shall probably announce guests and start working on getting some once London Film and Comic Con is out the way :)

Their rescheduling has been announced on the forum here. The website will likely be updated after LFACC as it's been said.

That's not gonna happen as Maisie is already scheduled for another event in another country the same week-end as EMS.

So whats the main differences between this and LFCC?

They're fairly similar overall - EMS usually has a sports guest section that LFCC doesn't, LFCC has comics guests that I don't think EMS generally does, but other than that there aren't a whole lot of differences.

Laura just tweeted this...

Clearing this up. I won't be at the London convention in October. They announced before I was asked & I will be @ my sisters wedding. Sorry

EMS has only ever been on 2 days the times I've attended, and I'm fairly sure the one I missed (last Oct) was also only on 2 days.

It was.

[jael001]

If you go to the relevant previous events section of the forum you'll see all the dates of the previous EMS's and they were all 2 day events

Hey Guys,
just wanted to draw your attention to this. On the Event page on the SM site, it has the following details about the venue -
________________________________
    Venue & Travel

The Entertainment Media Show will this year be taking place at Earls Court (Brompton Hall), London.  The hall is situated opposite West Brompton train station and is a short walk from Earls Court Tube station.
____________________________________________

As noted here on the forum, it's actually in the Olympia Grand Hall instead, opposite Kensington Olympia tube station. I just thought it should be changed in case of any confusion. Some people just check the site and don't go through all the pages here on the forum.

Thanks
