Since having to postpone the convention due to the COVID-19 breakout, New Zealand is having their first three conventions in Christchurch on July 18-19 at Horncastle Arena, Tauranga on July 25-26 at Baypark Arena, and Wellington on August 1-2 at Sky Stadium!
However, these will also be the first conventions of their kind. They will be both physical conventions and virtual conventions, with all of the guests beamed onto the main stages for their panels.
There will be no extras for these guests and the panels will only be streamed live on stage at each of the conventions. Some of these guests will be streaming into one, two, or all three of the conventions, so please read carefully.
Danielle Nicolet will be streaming into all three of the conventions. Nicolet is known for her roles such as Cecile Horton in The Flash, Maggie in Central Intelligence, Karui in Naruto, and Andrea in Key and Peele.
