GalaxyCon

In late 2006, Mike Broder sought to bring a large convention to south Florida. He mounted Florida Supercon at the Ramada Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. He organized Anime Supercon in Fort Lauderdale five months later. Both drew an estimated 2,000 people. Other conventions were organized in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami metro areas. A November 2008 Supercon in Atlanta, Georgia, was not as prosperous as the Florida events.

After the unrelated Wizard World Raleigh Comic Con moved from Raleigh, North Carolina, to Winston-Salem in 2016, the company mounted Raleigh Supercon in July 2017. It drew an estimated 30,000 people for the weekend.

Super Conventions later acquired the former Derby City Comic Con in Louisville, Kentucky, which was re-branded as Louisville Supercon for the November 2018 event.

Two 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. Both of those had taken place in Miami.

In 2025, the organizers of the Columbus convention were criticized for overcrowding, poor treatment of disabled people, and poor handling of medical and accessibility devices. The organizers blamed the security company, Allied Universal that was hired through the convention center.

Sale of Florida Supercon and convention name changes

On March 11, 2019, it was announced that Broder sold Florida Supercon and the "Supercon" trademark to ReedPop of Norwalk, Connecticut. The company owns a number of conventions around the world, including New York Comic Con and MCM London Comic Con. Management for the events in Raleigh and Louisville will remain the same under Broder, but are renamed as GalaxyCon. Also added are GalaxyCon events in Richmond, Virginia, and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Florida Supercon, now managed by ReedPop, will continue to have its annual event in early July.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, GalaxyCon Raleigh was rescheduled for July 29, August 1, 2021. In April 2020, the convention announced that, due to economic conditions and issues with the venue, GalaxyCon would not be returning to Louisville for 2020.
