Founded in 1994, Otakon is an annual convention held in the summer months to celebrate Asian pop culture (anime, manga, music, movies, video games, etc) and its fandom. The event runs from Friday to Sunday and is packed with a schedule that has tons to do.
Otakon is held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in our nation's capital of Washington, DC.
When Otakon started, I don’t know if the founders could have envisioned that it would reach the heights that it has, nor that it would endure for 30 great years! Thank you for being a part of our family and for accompanying us along this amazing journey!
You may have heard this before, but Otakon is run 100% by volunteer staff who give their time freely to make it all happen. Without them, without you, without all of us, Otakon would not be where it is today, and where it will grow in the years to come.
We’ve got so much excitement in store for this year and we can’t wait to share it with you all!
Here's to the first 30 years of memories, friendships, and fun!
-Brooke Zerrlaut, Otakorp President 2024
