Attention campers!

The Ohayocon Road Team is heading to Acen this weekend to kick off this year’s pre-reg extravaganza! Yeah, you read that right! This year we’re not opening the flood gates in September like years before, this year we’re opening them in May! Betcha didn’t see that one coming, did you? You can invest in your 2019 weekend pass in person there or wait for the 21st when we’ll be opening sales online.

Head over to the admission and pricing page to see the deets and check out the super-cute camp-flavored graphic our art team whipped up for you guys!

Oh, and you thought we would open registration without dangling something shiny in front of your face? Think again; we’ve got six whole shiny things to dangle, baby! The first batch of Ohayocon 2019 guests is ready to view! We’re bringing back fan favorites and adding some impressive new names to the list.

Check out the Industry Speakers and Voice Actors pages for more details on these very special campers!

The website is officially up to date as of 3/20/2018! It’s been a bit of a slow start but we can’t wait to fill it up with all the fun new things in store! Keep your eyes peeled for a list of conventions we’ll be marketing at and when we’re opening up pre-reg!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We can’t say it enough.

Without you, this convention and online community could not possibly exist, and we owe you a big vote of thanks. Here’s some updates about the future:

  • If you would like to enter for a chance to win a free badge for next year, you can take our attendee survey and tell us your thoughts!
  • Our theme for next year is “Camp Ohayocon,” and we hope to see you there, cadets!
  • Technically our convention year ends Jan. 31, but since it is so close to that date, our customer service channels will remain active through Feb. 15, then revert to weekly checks during our long off-season.

See you next year!
