At the Con (cards) — AnimeCon Africa

july 17–18, 2027 · lagos

Two days. One whole world.

The con is more than a room full of booths. Here is what we are building for you.

Artist alley

African illustrators, designers and craft makers selling work inspired by the anime, manga and games you love.

Cosplay

Cosplay catwalk

Come as your favourite character and take the stage. Craft, performance and crowd noise all count.

Play

Gaming arena

Console tournaments, free play stations and a retro corner for the classics. Challenge a stranger, leave with a rival.

Sing

Karaoke and AMV hall

Belt out anime openings, then watch fan-made AMVs on the big screen. Nobody judges, everybody sings.

Learn

Panels and workshops

Talks from creators and industry people, plus hands-on sessions: draw a character, build a prop, start a comic.

Meet

Fandom meetups

Find your people. Each fandom gets a time and a spot, led by fans who run their own groups.

Eat

Food and chill zone

Proper African food, cold drinks and a quiet corner for when the day gets loud.

Saturday night

The after-party

Stay for Saturday night: DJ, glow-up costumes and the finale of day one. 18+.

Zones are still being finalised. The monthly meetups are where we test what works, and your feedback shapes the final floor plan.
