Connect with FanimeCon

FanimeCon is brought together by a group of hard working fans. These fans come together every year to create a new convention to share with others with similar tastes. From the staffers and volunteers to the attendees, the passion for anime and Japanese culture brings them closer. Looking to meet other fans like yourself? Would you like a chance to give back to FanimeCon and help it grow? On this page you can find ways to connect to those who help create FanimeCon and others who share in similar passions.

Please check out our About page for more information about FanimeCon’s history, becoming staff, volunteering, and contacting FanimeCon departments.

Anime Clubs

From humble beginnings in 1994, FanimeCon was first created by several anime clubs that came together to share their passion for anime. Some of the original clubs still remain, and many others have joined Fanime since. There are many great clubs to discover. All of their information and meeting dates can be found on this list.
