FAN EXPO Boston Will Not Be Impacted by the SAG/AFTRA Strike

 FAN EXPO Boston, the three-day pop-culture extravaganza at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) August 4-6, 2023, is reassuring fans that the SAG/AFTRA strike will have no impact to the show. Celebrity meet-and-greets, autograph signings, photo ops and panels will still happen.  

According to SAG/AFTRA guidelines:

  • Celebrity guests can participate at FAN EXPO.
  • Celebrity guests can participate in panels and fan meet-and-greets. During panels, they won’t be able to talk about struck work, but general topics are fine to discuss. 
  • Autographs will still happen. Celebrity guests will only be able to provide their headshots to be signed at their table, but if a fan brings an image or collectible with them depicted in struck work, they are able to sign it.
  • Photo Ops will still happen – Celebrity guests will be able to take photos with fans.

Official FAN EXPO HQ Statement:

As the guidelines of the SAG-AFTRA strike come to light, it is understood that individual performers have permission to participate in pop culture conventions if they are not promoting major studio/streamer projects. Given the majority of our celebrities fall into this category, we don’t expect it to impact FAN EXPO HQ events. We look forward to an exciting FAN EXPO season and as always will update fans on any changes and additions. We hope this comes to a quick resolution for all parties involved.
