In a Facebook post, convention officials have announced that the three-day fan expo will run from April 12 through April 14, 2024. Two other conventions will occur at the event center later this year, both slated for Aug. 9-11 and Dec. 6-8, 2024.
The Monroeville Convention Center was to be closed and transformed into a Hobby Lobby. Still, after learning of the closure, local officials said they worked to tell Hobby Lobby and Oxford Development Company how important the convention center is to the community.
The two companies agreed it was best to pursue termination of the Hobby Lobby lease.
Monroeville and state leaders will come together at a later date and develop a long-term plan to give Monroeville some control over the building.
