IKKiCON LLC is a Japanese Animation and Pop-Culture Convention, held annually in Austin, Texas. IKKiCON traditionally runs for three days during the beginning of the calendar year. IKKiCON V will be held on December 31, 2010 through January 2, 2011 at the Hilton Austin Hotel.
IKKiCON V will have a number of events to enjoy, including but not limited to, karaoke, gaming, anime music videos, dances, live music, cosplay contests, a dealers’ room, an artists’ alley and art show. IKKiCON V takes up the entire 4th and 6th floor of the Hilton Austin Hotel.
IKKiCON V registration begins early in the morning with content starting shortly after and runs late into the night. Our dances typically go till at least 2 AM and our gaming and video rooms run 24 hours.
IKKiCON was originally always in February, and we intend to host IKKiCON VI (and on) in February again.
There are a few places you’ll need your photo ID while at IKKiCON V. If you do not have a photo ID, we suggest you get one, since that will make attending this convention a much smoother process for you.
Our primary demographic is the 15 to 25 age range, but we’ve seen anime fans of all ages attending IKKiCON.
Dropping your kids off is your choice as a parent or guardian. We have our own safety staff and hired out security at various times, but are not responsible for the well-being of any attendee on-site at IKKiCON. In short, IKKiCON is not a babysitter.
While inside the Hilton Austin, there is no specific curfew, but once outside of the IKKiCON floorplan, you must abide by Austin, TX’s juvenile curfew. For more information, visit: http://www.ci.austin.tx.us.
Cameras are typically allowed all throughout IKKiCON with the exception of the video rooms. If this policy is changed, you will be informed in the program guide, as well as at the event.
You can check out the forums or the Media page.
Of course you can! Check out our merchandise page for our IKKiCON V t-shirts, as well as t-shirts from previous IKKiCONs.
We host Anime Overload on August 6-8, 2010. We’re also working on hosting monthly events in Austin to celebrate our mutual love of anime. As that project develops more, we’ll post more content in the news section, as well as forum section of the IKKiCON website.
