What is AniMinneapolis?
AniMinneapolis is a three-day-long convention focused on Japanese animation, video games, manga, and popular culture. Hundreds, even thousands of people come to these conventions to meet famous voice actors, participate in events, and compete in costume contests.
Conventions like AniMinneapolis are rare and unique events. No other sort of business conference has the same kind of 72-hour participation, nor enthusiasm of attendees.
Press rules and regulations.
Members of the press are expected to hold themselves to high professional standards. We welcome them to join us in costume and have fun participating in the convention, to understand how a convention works. All attendees are told that they may be photographed at the convention, and that their photographs may be published. It is still, however, a matter of courtesy to ask for permission for individual or micro-group photographs.
All press should refer to the convention as "AniMinneapolis" or "Anime Minneapolis." We appreciate when online publications provide a link to our website so that interested people can get more information.
