Related Events
QC Anime-zing! is particularly known for organizing an 'instant' anime convention after a small nearby convention, Pokettokon, had been cancelled less than a week prior to the convention weekend[6]. The instant event gathered 160 attendees with less than 72 hours of planning[7]. QC Anime-zing! recently announced another second anime convention, Anime-SPARK!, to be held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Valentine's Day weekend[8].
