Convention Activities

This Friday night event officially signals the opening of the convention. KOBUSHI Taiko will open this event with their always amazing drums. Afterwards our chairman takes this opportunity to brag about the weekend and introduce our guests.

In the past few years AnimeFEST's Saturday night event has been an evening to remember and this year is no different. This year we are proud and excited to have 'MAX'!

At the request of AVEX / 'MAX' we have camera and video recording rules that must be followed:

• No video filming or photography of the band
• Specific rules will be posted at the convention if there is any change

AnimeFEST has always prided itself with having the best anime video theaters around. This year should be spectacular! We have great function rooms at the hotel set aside and our theater programming manager is hard at work trying to line up the most exciting schedule ever. All rooms will feature giant screen digital projection systems and thundering surround sound systems. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the convention.

The video rooms will be open 24hr/day from Friday at noon until Monday at 3pm.

Anime Music and Parody Video Contest.

Let the video producer inside show off at this fan favorite event. Fans will compete for great prizes by submitting their amateur music and parody videos for judging by other members. You can see their work Saturday from 4pm - 6pm.

Aspiring anime artists from around the world can submit their artwork for display or sale in our huge art show. We are aggressively seeking submissions from artists for this year's event and hope to have one of the largest anime art shows in the country.

Over the next couple of years we are hoping to position AnimeFEST as the premier anime artists convention. With both the largest anime art show and the most artist oriented programming. If you're interested in helping or programming have ideas, please contact us.
