Conventions? (Cons, Meetups, etc.)

Jon Mitchell

JNC had a presence at Sakura-con, will we see folks from JNC officially at other cons? Anime expo (LA) or some of the regional smaller venues? (for example Anime Midwest is the same weekend in Chicago)

Rahul Balaggan

They did not secure a booth at AX this year, if they show up it will just be for panels.

No news on any other conventions at the moment.

@rahul-balaggan

Thanks - is there a place where this would be announced?

Rahul Balaggan

@jon-mitchell offically it will be through Twitter, although Sam may mention it in Discord first.

@rahul-balaggan

ok, I'll add my $.02 that "news" on the homepage would be a good place for this as well (or a monthly newsletter would be cool)

I go to Youmacon every year
