This is Youmacon's official page. ^_^

Detroit's Anime convention returns for it's 19th year! Here at Youmacon, an international audience of Otaku of over 24,000 come to meet Anime voice actors face to face, compete for masquerade and cosplay trophies and shop for treasures of their favorite fandom. Youmacon's original events immerse you in the experience of becoming a Japanese chess pie

ce in a game of shougi, leading a team to the Star in a Live-Action game of Donkey Kong, and being served by maids in the Original US Maid Cafe, and so much more. And the fun never stops, because Youmacon provides around the clock programming, as well as a dedicated video/audio track featuring fan-created videos, video gaming, and our renowned marketplace. So let us exceed your expectations for the 19th time and beyond.

The Youmacon 2026 Panelist Application is now online! You may click the below link to access our Panelist Application, or check out our application page on our website under resources.

https://forms.office.com/r/BNZhpfLZ3p

We're excited to see what you have in store for us. One thing to note is that we will have a "moving deadline" for this Application: When we receive enough applications that we think we can fully fill out the panel, we will put an announcement out that says we will start processing the application in 2 weeks. You'll have that time to submit your application and be included in the "1st Run" of submissions. The application will stay open, but Panel Applications submitted after the "1st Run" will only make it to get a Panel Invite if there is a cancellation or a rejection of a Panel Time.

It's this way we can get our Panels done earlier, and make sure that we notify our panelists way ahead of time that they can run a panel at Youmacon 2026.
