[This unedited press release is made available courtesy of Gamasutra and its partnership with notable game PR-related resource Games Press.] MomoCon, the fan-favorite Atlanta event celebrating gaming, pop culture, and animation, will not hold its in-person event originally scheduled on May 27-30, 2021, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the Georgia-based organizers plan to hold Winterfest, a mini-event at the Georgia World Congress Center on December 19-20, 2021, with the hopes that the vaccine rollout will have reached the majority of Americans by the end of the year.
The decision to cancel May’s event was not made easily, but is the safest option for the MomoCon and Atlanta communities at this time.
