Wizard Entertainment Inc., formerly known as GoEnergy and Wizard World,[2] was a producer of multi-genre fan conventions across North America.

Gareb Shamus started the previous bearer of the Wizard Entertainment name in 1991 as Wizard Press, the publisher of one monthly magazine: Wizard. That company evolved into a multi-title publishing company with diversified interests in branded products and related convention operations. By 2011, the company had discontinued its print division to focus exclusively on its convention business.[3] By 2015, the company had expanded to producing 25 annual conventions around the U.S. In 2021, Wizard sold its convention events business to FanExpo.[4]
