Comin-Con Prague s.r.o.

In order to host Comic-Con Prague, Václav Pravda formed a new private limited company, which works closely with FFestivaly (SFK Avalon). This charity fan group has organised big festivals in popular culture before, such as The Festival Fantazie (which boasted an attendance of up to 15.000 fans, and will celebrate its 25th anniversary in Chotěboř in 2020), PragoFFest (which had an attendance of up to 8.000 fans, its final tenth edition going ahead in 2019), FanCity (which had an attendance of 6.000 fans in Prague alone, its final edition going ahead in 2021), and GameFFest (which forms the ‘game’ aspect of all of the events mentioned previously).

The Festival Fantazie is run for fans, by fans, and in many ways it is one of the best in the world of its kind. This fantastic, ten-day program at the start of the summer holidays boasts approximately 1500 activities, tens of which are tournaments and 50 are film screenings in the cinema.

Václav Pravda led the Education Centre at Hewlett Packard for several years. He first started organisingFestival Fantazie and other similar events at the same time, but later he decided to pursue this hobby full-time. Mr. Pravda has more than 60 successful events to his name. Aside from organising these events, he has also run the hotel Fantazie in Chotěboř. Mr. Pravda and SFK Avalon are responsible for the program and organisation of Comic-Con Prague.
