Anime Convention
ANCEA (Asia-Northwest Cultural Education Association) is proud to once again sponsor Sakura-Con. Sakura-Con is the premiere Pacific Northwest convention devoted to Japanese animation, manga (comics), video and role playing games, as well as Asian culture. It is the destination event for fans to learn more about these industries, and the diversity of Asian culture and history.
The 9th annual Sakura-Con will be March 24th, through the 26th, 2006. The convention will be in its new location at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in downtown Seattle. This move will increase our space by 200% and allows us to offer more events, panels, video gaming and much more fun.
