MomoCon, the largest FREE convention in the country!
... and did we mention it won't cost you one red cent in admission?
MomoCon is America's largest free convention. We cover the costs by selling you nifty Japanese goodies along with kickass t-shirts, and in return, you get a great convention that is run by Georgia Tech's best and brightest!
Hope to see you there!
Ever Been to MomoCon Before?
From the Wikipedia Article on MomoCon
MomoCon, held in Atlanta, Georgia at Georgia Tech, is one of the top five largest free fan conventions in North America (as of 2006). The multi-genre convention is orchestrated by Anime O-Tekku every year in March since its inception in 2005. The convention encompasses Anime, Video Games, LARP, webcomics, Comics, costuming, card games, board games, and prop armor construction, among other things. In its first year, MomoCon was held in the Georgia Tech student center. In 2006 it expanded to include several events, mostly video game tournaments, in the nearby Instructional Center.
MomoCon is unusual in that the convention began without any starting capital, and there is no entry fee to cover the costs for the next year. Every MomoCon to date has been free admission, with sales of T-shirts funding the next year. The convention also offers DVDs with the highlights of the previous years. MomoCon 2008 DVDs will be available in the future.
(MomoCon 5 is March 14, 2009)
