The Edmonton Expo will also be offering workshops and panels.

Special Guests Include: Iconic Adam West from classic 'Batman' to the voice of 'Quahog's Mayor' on Family Guy ­ and pow! recently got his Hollywood Walk of Fame star; and Billy Dee Williams who is best known as the roguish 'Lando Calrissian' in the Star Wars trilogy and 'Harvey Dent' in Tim Burton's Batman.
