Happy Fall! We have a few updates about Ohayocon 23 for you.

Room Block is Open!

We’re thrilled to announce that our room block at the Hyatt Regency Hotel is officially open! You can book your hotel room by using our group code: “G-OC23” or by booking at this link.

New Staff Application now available

Join a family of friends and put on an unforgettable show! Each year Ohayocon puts on an event that delights thousands and thousands of anime, gaming, and Japanese pop culture fans. With concerts, dances, and competitions, we’re so much more than just another anime convention—and we’re looking for dedicated people to help make it happen! If you’re interested in staffing Ohayocon 23 you can find more information on staffing (and all the great benefits that come with it) here.

Pre-registration Pricing Increases on Oct. 1

Today is the last day to pre-register for just $65! Tomorrow pricing will increase to $70/person.

Panel Applications are Open

Have you ever watched a panel and thought “I could do that!” Do you have an interesting topic or activity you’ve been dying to discuss/try out? Now is the time to try your hand at paneling! Panelists provide a wide variety of programming for attendees. As a panelist, you get to share your interests, enthusiasm, and expertise with others. You can give an informative presentation, host an interactive event, or help others learn a new skill by putting on a workshop. If this sounds like the job for you, apply to be a panelist today!

  • As of 7/15/2022, we are leaning toward hosting Dealers Room and Artist Alley in Battelle Grand, the same location as last year, based on overwhelmingly positive feedback about that location from both dealers and artists.
