WayCon 2020

  • Wayne State University Student Center 5221 Gullen Mall, Detroit, MI 48202 (map)

I’ll have a vendor table and will be selling my books.

Overview:

Hosted by both Wayne State University and the Wayne State Anime Club, his day-long, 8-hour event will be held with the intention of promoting both an enjoyable cultural exchange of the arts through the means of cultural awareness, appreciation, and activity. The appreciation of Japanese and video game culture is the paramount goal of this convention, these cultures interacting with the guests of this convention through its panels, events, and atmosphere. The Wayne State Anime Club hopes to make this first-of-its-kind-event a success so that we can further spread an appreciation of this culture to those outside of our club and outside of Wayne State University.
