Here is a listing of conventions I have found that will have movie and television guests present for an opportunity to meet and get autographs from. In addition to media guests, nearly every convention listed here also has many celebrity artists, writers, and production personnel in attendance. Check out their web sites for more details. Also, most of these conventions repeat year after year, so if you've missed an earlier convention, check back on their web site after a few months and they may have updates on the next year's show.
Check these great production companies that host more than one show/signings
a year (a couple of the bigger shows have been listed but, these companies
have too many shows to list them all):
Creation Entertainment
Slanted Fedora Entertainment
Tenth Planet (UK)
Vulkon Entertainment
Hollywood
Collectors Show, Inc.
Notes: ST:TNG = Star Trek: The Next Generation; ST:V = Star Trek: Voyager; ST:DS9 = Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; any title with Star Wars would imply any of the prequels or sequels
