Good news! Our email is back up and running 💌✨

We’re happy to let you know that our email issues have now been resolved, and we’re back to replying to your messages as normal. If you’re still waiting to hear from us, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience!

We’re seeking enthusiastic individuals to help us create an unforgettable AnimeCon experience for everyone by joining our steward or host team. Whether you’re a seasoned convention-goer or brand new to the scene, we welcome your enthusiasm, energy and dedication. You can become the backbone of the convention!

As a steward, you’ll work mainly on the convention floor. You actively answer questions from attendees, you assist with crowd control and crowd management and you patrol the con floor.

As a host, you’ll focus more on providing information to our guests, promote events and will also go on patrol.

Currently it is a shared signup for stewards and hosts, but if you’d like to focus only on host tasks please write that in your sign-up.

Join our steward and host team today and let’s work together to make AnimeCon 2027: Into the Wild an amazing experience yet again! For the fans, by the fans.

As we’re slowly getting ready for AnimeCon 2027: Into the Wild, we’re always looking for volunteers to help us out at the convention. Since, as you may know, AnimeCon runs entirely on volunteers, we’re always looking for new people to join us and help out.

And this is where you come in!

We’re seeking enthusiastic individuals to help us create an unforgettable AnimeCon experience for everyone by joining our crew team. Whether you’re a seasoned convention-goer or brand new to the scene, we welcome your enthusiasm, energy and dedication!

As team crew, you work mainly behind the scenes. Whether it is the Registration Desk or the Event Plaza, or setting up and breaking down the convention, there is a lot of stuff for you to do!

Join our crew team today and let’s work together to make AnimeCon 2027: Into the Wild an amazing one!

And that’s it, it's a wrap!

VienCon 2026 is sadly over, but we hope you all had a lot of fun (with our beach balls), even with the rain this weekend. We’ve seen a lot of fun stories going around and we’d love to see more!

We hope to be there next year with you all to make lots of fun memories together!

Are you ready for a summer cosplay getaway? VienCon will soon be upon us! Sadly, AnimeCon will not have a table at VienCon, but several of our volunteers will be attending as guests. But do not worry; our beach balls will be present too! They shall be released back into their natural habitat, namely, the pool.

We wish everyone attending VienCon a great time and lots of fun!

Happy World Photography Day! 📸

We love the heart, art, and science that goes into photography, and all of it deserves to be celebrated!

This art is important to our community as well. Cosplayers get to show off their craft through the camera lens thanks to photographers. Those who bend in poses just as weird as the cosplayers themselves to capture THE shot!

Or figure photography. Don’t think we forgot about the artists laying in dirt to capture their waifus and husbandos with amazing backgrounds. Nuikatsu is being leveled up from hobby to artwork by all of you.

Do you have any pictures you are particularly proud of? Please share them in the comments!
