Events

Consweet

Here you can grab a bite to eat, get a drink, or just relax. Contents are usually free drinks (non-alcoholic), chips, veggies and dips, doughnuts & milk in the mornings, and “Otaku Chow.”

Family Programming

Family-oriented events and panels. Crafts and lots of other fun activities.

Anime Marketplace
Lots of awesome dealers selling lots of really cool and mostly Anime-related merchandise. Pick up some new Anime, a snazzy t-shirt, a stuffed Cabbit, maybe that cel you’ve been dying to find, that hard-to-find soundtrack, all sorts of awesome stuff – and some of the dealers even take plastic!

The Dance
AnimeIowa will once again be having a dance that gives you a chance to shake your groove thing. Following the Cosplay, the Main Programming Room will be cleared of most everything breakable, and we will crank up the music for those of you who want to dance the night away. The dance will go until the DJ drops or you cry for mercy.

Video Rooms
This is your chance to watch anime until your eyes fall out. AnimeIowa will be running several Video Rooms ’round the clock throughout the convention.
