Ikkicon

Ikkicon is an annual three-day anime convention created in 2007 in Austin, Texas and has taken the place of the now-defunct Ushicon. The convention was traditionally held in early February through 2009 and has been hosted by three different venues: The Woodward Hotel & Conference Center (2007), The Doubletree Hotel (2008), and Hilton Austin (2009, 2010). Ikkicon 4 was held on January 1-3, 2010 at the Hilton Austin - Downtown.

Many of the attendees cosplay while attending the convention, and events include guest and fan panels, workshops, the masquerade, karaoke, live music concerts, an art show and auction, an "Anime Idol" contest, a poetry slam, and an anime music video contest.
