2024 Anime Cons & Cosplay Conventions Schedule

Anime conventions or expos are comic cons that primarily focuses on anime, manga and Japanese pop culture. Just like any expo or convention, anime cons often have panels, which are open ended discussions involving some pre-determined topic around anime and manga culture. Some events include screenings of actual anime shows that can last all day long.

Another big part of anime culture is cosplay, where fans dress up as their favorite anime characters. While anime expos are not exclusively cosplay conventions, they might as well be since cosplay is a huge part of the anime convention culture with dedicated contests and panels to cosplay. Increasingly, convention goers are also getting into cosplay. You can also encounter cosplay at any comic con as well.
