About the Anime Conventions Directory
A community-driven directory for the anime and cosplay scene. We track in-person conventions, meet-ups, festivals and expos so you can plan your next trip without digging through scattered social posts and out-of-date event pages.
The directory spans North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and beyond. From city-wide expos to small local gatherings. Each listing includes the event name, dates, venue, country and region, plus a direct link to the organiser's official site. Updates come from automated feeds and community submissions.
