Kanpai!Con

Kanpai!Con is a community-focused annual Japanese cultural appreciation convention centered on anime, manga, and Japanese video gaming. It promises a full three-day weekend where fans can make anime friends, wear cosplay, and enjoy a family-friendly atmosphere. The official site highlights a lively mix of entertainment, including concerts, dances, comedy shows, panels, meetups, and autograph sessions. Attendees can look forward to a formal fantasy cosplay ball with dance lessons and a playful date auction before the ball. The exhibit hall and artists alley offer plenty of anime treasures, crafts, collectibles, and art to explore. Special guests include voice actors, creators, and entertainers from anime, video games, and related fandoms. The downtown Omaha venue adds convenience, with food, entertainment, and hotel rooms right at the host property.
