AmeCon is the largest convention in the United Kingdom dedicated to the celebration of Japanese animation, comics and culture. Following some successful one-day events, several committee members of the Leicester Anime and Manga Club (LANMA - http://www.lanma.org.uk) decided to run a small, residential event in 2004. This event, through no fault of their own, became the largest anime convention to be hosted in the British Isles at that time.
In 2006, AmeCon moved from Oldby to the main University of Leicester Campus and has been hosted there ever since. In the following years, we've introduced various events to almost 1300 attendees, including the Cosplay Triathlon and the UK's first convention-based cosplay ball. Since moving to the main campus, AmeCon has continued to build upon its previous events, and this year is no exception
AmeCon 2008 will be running between 8-10 August 2008.
