I don't have the numbers off the top of my head but we grew from last year. We just have more programming spread out over a larger area so it feels smaller.

30,000+ is a good number.  :)

Yay.  ;D

Hello all, this is more of a polling question for artists/graphic designers/and photographers. We're working with Adobe to host workshops, panels, and Q&A sessions and would love some feedback.

- Which day is more preferable between Thursday Night and Friday?
- What types of panels, information, or hands on event would you be interested?
- Would photographers be interested in doing a photo walk in Downtown San Jose with a professional photographer from Adobe and then get hands on instruction on post-processing work flow?

Most importantly, would you attend with above 80% certainty? This is important for us to plan room sizes, number of instructors, and technical logistics.

Please comment and discuss, your feedback is important to us in the phase of the development process.

All of them.  ;D

Unstickied. 2017 is up, use that one.

Hello.

FanimeCon's photography department is still sorting through and uploading all the photos that were taken.

They will be posted to our image hosting accounts and posted on social media.

Thanks,

I can't believe you left out La Vic's.  :D

Get hyped!

Please email Dealers @ fanime.com with your concerns directly.

If you have questions or concerns, please PM me.

Thanks,

You must be new around here  ;). Welcome to the forums.

We don't have exact dates but we're working on bringing the system up for 2016. That being said, based on historical data, I wouldn't get my hopes up for an August launch.

Thanks,

Good suggestions everyone, keep them coming if you have them. No post is too late :)

We are on Memorial Day weekend every year, kind of handy to be able to plan around :)

I like this... a lot.

Kudos

Just as an FYI...there aren't that many rooms that are empty and aren't being used in one respect or another. We fill a lot of things...that being said... we're going to try to move things around and see what works better to maximize the space that we DO have as we feel things are being underutilized.

Oh boy that was a long list of items for Cosplay... thanks for the very thorough feedback!

2013 - North of 25k
2014 - North of 27k
2015 - Many more people than 2014 :)

We're still working on the official numbers but we're settings some records. Anecdotal evidence suggests more people this year with the crowds doesn't it?
