[edit] Programming

Events include standard panels, some about shows the present voice actors are working on, random open-mic question and answer panels, fan panels, gripe sessions, game shows, trivia contests, video game contests, a cosplay masquerade, open microphone, karaoke, plus more. There is also a video game room with assorted video, card, and table top games, and several screening rooms showcasing new anime, live action series, and music videos from Japan, along with anime music videos created by attendees. New to the 2006 convention was a dance, which has been reprised each year since. The 2007, 2008, and 2010 conventions featured a maid café, but will not feature a café in 2011. New to the 2009 convention was the addition of an annual Cosplay Ball, which aims to have a different theme every year. The ball has featured Black Butler and Sailor Moon in the past. The theme for 2011 is Hellsing.
