Do you have what it takes to challenge the Battle Masters of the Portable Kaiju Super Battle League? Come test your mettle against them in the Video Game Hall, where they will be taking on challengers all weekend!
In light of the other events going on around dc during otakon, will there be increased security or other methods to ensuring the safety of the attendees? I got worried family and I'd like to be able to give some reassurance and I didn't see anything about it in the official statement. Thanks!
Otakon will as usual monitor activity within the Convention Center footprint. We have also as usual convention security, paid security and on call police officers all weekend. The rally is a good distance away and it is doubtful that there will be any effect on the convention.
I bought the sunday only trial. When i get to the door on sunday, do i just need my ID or would i need anything else?
Your ID is all you need!
Hey, can you tell me the badge confirmation website link? I accidentally threw out the package...
Good evening!! Please use http://www.otakon.com/activate to activate your badge.
My father bought my ticket for me so the registration is under his name, but he isn't coming to the convention. Will I still be able to get in with my student ID, or does he need to be there with me?
If your name is on the ticket then you should be fine. If it's under your father's name completely that would fall under the discretion of Registration.
So I noticed a drastic change on the schedule for workshop panels for the intro to makeup workshop on Saturday that showed as Saturday morning when I first checked the schedule is now showing as being around midnight... Is this correct and why?
Guidebook has the most up to date information. It could have changed for many reasons. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Who is ready for OTAKON?!?!?! We are super excited to see everyone!!!
Hi! So, my mentor and I are planning on attending Otakon but we haven't registered yet. Can we register on August 9th or no?
I'm sorry but I cannot read your full question. Please message the page directly.
Will there be translators at the panels/ booths for some of the Japanese artists?
I'm sorry but I cannot read your full question. Please message the page directly.
Are snacks allowed in the convention center?
You cannot bring full meals into the center because the center does not allow outside food. But if you want to bring little snacks they will not stop you.
