Monopoly Events

Monopoly Events, fan convention organiser in the UK

Monopoly Events is a British company dedicated to organising fan conventions and comic cons. The project began in 2015, driven by the interest of its CEO, Andy Kleek, in 1980s culture, vintage toys and prop building. Since then, the company has presented itself as Europe's largest fan convention operator and brings together around twenty shows in the UK.

Three convention brands with different audiences

The activity is structured around three main brands, each with its own format and focus:

• Comic Con: large-scale multi-themed conventions that combine celebrities, video games, cosplay and leisure activities for the general public.
• For the Love of…: more specialised events that delve into specific genres and the interests of particular fan communities.
• Comic Con Mania: one-day family experiences, designed for cities that do not have large exhibition venues capable of hosting more than ten thousand attendees.

Services for exhibitors and collectors

In addition to the convention programme, the company's website details several services aimed at attendees and professionals. These include ticket and merchandise sales, a send-in service for items to be signed, an authenticity checker tool and a section for getting involved as an exhibitor, advertiser or volunteer. There is also a dedicated press area.

Relationship with the fan community

The company links its growth to its ongoing relationship with fans. According to its own presentation, it maintains a respectful attitude towards the public, responsive customer service and actively listens to requests about the content of each show. It describes conventions as spaces that help create friendships, foster inclusivity and boost personal confidence, and notes that as it expands into new territories, it seeks to build and strengthen local connections.
