Excellent news...today Ayacon 2009 has just been confirmed to run between Friday 14th - Sunday 16th August 2009.
The news was announced on the Ayacon website, the first time they updated it since August 2005. At the moment registrations have not started but according to the website they will start allowing members to register for the event in a few weeks.
Like last time, for those of you who attended Ayacon 2005 the convention will again be taking place at the University of Warwick Arts Centre. The University does feature many facilities to accommodate the convention and members, they are not so much different to the University of Leicester. On site accommodation has been made available for the event and most likely will be on a first come first served basis just like the membership registration.
The University of Warwick Arts Centre will host Ayacon 2009 on the 14th - 16th August 2009
The events schedule for Ayacon 2009 has not been confirmed as of yet but more information will be made available over the coming months but expect to see Anime Music Video Exhibitions, Artists Alley, Cosplay Masquerade, Dealers' Room, Games Room and Karaoke. There is no confirmation on special guests either but more information can be found on their website including the FAQ section.
The Ayacon website doesn't give a clear indication of how many members would be allowed to attend but membership signup will allow you to pay on your card by Google Checkout to get a guaranteed place.
This will be the first time we plan to attend Ayacon after spending the past few years at Amecon. We have been looking forward to this announcement since August and we are especially excited at going to the event next summer.
The countdown has started and we hope to see you all next year for Ayacon 2009.
