Anime Central (ACen) is the Midwest Anime, Manga, and Asian Culture Convention. ACen is sponsored by the Midwest Animation Promotion Society (MAPS), and over more than a decade has grown into one of the largest fan-run conventions of its type in the country, ACen is known for providing a fun, exciting environment for fans of all ages.
ACen will convene for its 12th annual event on May 8 - 10th, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois - just a few minutes from O'Hare international airport, and 30 minutes from the heart of downtown Chicago.
As part of its mission, ACen brings fans together with guests from the Japanese and US sectors of the anime and manga industry, as well as gaming, cinema, and Asian culture personalities. The event includes a huge exhibit hall, a massive video game room, concerts, dances, educational panels and workshops, premiere screenings, autograph sessions, 24-hour video rooms, tabletop gaming and much, much more! Attendees can attend a dance with 5,000 of their favorite friends and cheer while amazing DJs spin, enjoy an incredible concert, or visit the largest artist’s alley found in any US anime convention.
With attendance of 13,800 in 2008, we are planning for a very busy 2009! We would love to see you represented as a part of Anime Central 2009! Additional details and contact information about Anime Central and our location can be found elsewhere on this website.
