Right in the heart of Downtown Winnipeg – fans take the chance to connect with their favourite voice actors, writers, artists, and each other! This year, Ai-kon serves a delicious Café theme, with awesome guests lined up such as Damien Haas, SungWon Cho (ProZD), Mallorie Rodak, and so much more.

Enjoy a mountain of activities such as the widely-beloved Maid Cafe, a bustling gaming room with ongoing tournaments, panels featuring popular voice actors and artists, an ever-expanding Artist Marketplace, and the Ai-kon dance party! In addition, there are new stages featuring drag performers, where more people can feel comfortable and welcome in their own space. Ai-Kon is a place to gather and appreciate everything there is to love about anime, Japanese culture, and the community of fandom. Fans of all ages and interests will be immersed in a supportive, fun-filled space for all three days, with panels and anime showings happening around the clock, from opening ceremonies until closing ceremonies.
