Event history DatesĬarl Gustav Horn and Frederik L. FanimeCon was changed to a virtual event for 2021. FanimeCon 2020 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. FanimeCon's masquerade for 2016 was scheduled to run for five hours. The masquerade in 2015 suffered from technical issues. FanimeCon's 20th anniversary in 2014 was marked by San Jose having Fanime Day on May 23, 2014. Registration was affected in 2012 by a power outage. In 2011, Saturday saw three hour registration waits, problems with the convention not using a printed schedule, outside religious protesters, and the Marriott fire alarm being pulled on Monday morning.
Problems with the convention in 2009 included Christian protests and over purchasing of artist alley tables, with the protesters also returning in 2010. That year, the convention brought US$5 million to the local economy, growing to an estimated US$8.7 million in 2013, and US$10.5 million in 2014. In 2004, FanimeCon moved to the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. From 2000 to 2003 the Santa Clara Convention Center hosted FanimeCon. Foothill College would also host the convention until moving to the Wyndham Hotel in San Jose for 1999.
History įanimeCon was first held in 1994 at California State University, Hayward, being run by several anime clubs. Charities that FanimeCon supported in 2011 included the American Red Cross of Silicon Valley, APA Family Support Services of San Francisco, Cancer Support Community, and Japanese Red Cross Society. įanimeCon held an art auction for the charity Habitat for Humanity in 2004. The convention offers 24-hour programming, including gaming and video. The convention typically offers an AMV contest, artist's alley, contests, cosplay chess, dances, dealer's room, formal ball, game room (arcade, console, PC, and tabletop), karaoke, maid cafe, masquerade, panels, screenings, a swap meet, tournaments, and workshops. Foundation for Anime and Niche Subcultures įanimeCon is an annual four-day anime convention held during May at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California, over Memorial Day weekend.
