Introduction


As the oldest continually-running anime convention in America, A-Kon® enjoys a reputation as a fun, fan-oriented event that thousands of people can look forward to year after year. In 2011, A-Kon® brought together 18,447 people from all over the world to celebrate all aspects of anime culture. An anticipated 20,000 fans are expected to attend in 2012.


A-Kon®’s Program Book is an 8.5 x 11” saddle-stitched publication with a 4/1 color cover and black and white interior. It is distributed free to attendees as a guide to the events that are taking place throughout the weekend, and includes biographies and photographs of the guests and other useful pieces of information, such as maps and convention policies.
