INSTANT
ANIME CONVENTION
On Wednesday at 3:19 AM on January 13th, 2010 we learned that Pokettokon had been cancelled. The staff of QC Anime-zing! was planning to check it out and advertise our convention in just an hour and a half away. With the con being cancelled, we couldn't do that. So we built Anime-ZAP! In less than 12 hours we had a new Peoria anime convention.

We expected that several people had already changed their plans and wouldn't be able to come. We didn't expect a huge event. Despite this, we had over 150 attendees in that first year.

We didn't have special guests of honor, but we had videogaming, anime showing, and lots of fun! The event was Saturday from 9am to Midnight and Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Anime-zap! - the instant anime convention.

Anime-ZAP! Second Year

Our second year was also awesome. We moved to a larger convention center, and had over 400 attendees. There were plenty of great events, video games, dances, dealers, and plenty of cool things to do.

Anime-ZAP! Third Year

This is our third year, and we will be at the Four Points Hotel in Downtown Peoria. We're excited to be able to provide more events, more fun, and more everything awesome!
