There's other fandoms, MLP will be back, and there's virtual conventions happening all the time. I'm going to one this weekend, but for a different fandom. A year from now people will probably be planning conventions for 2022.
Comic Con is usually an easy way to get into conventions. There's enough people who don't know each other that you can hide in the crowd until you feel comfortable.
And smaller local conventions are awesome because they always need volunteers. Like, people to pick up talent at the airport, people to help show talent around the town or take them on a shopping trip. Lots and lots of chances to get to talk to your heroes.
A year from now things will most likely be very different. Maybe not back to 'normal', but a new normal.
