Attending No Brand Con this upcoming weekend? Anime Fusion will be there! Along with our friends at Sogen Con and WausaubiCon, you'll find us in Ambassador's Row and hosting a room party! Come check out some classic anime and tell us what you'd like to see at the convention!

Hello everyone!

A few months ago, I was asked to step up from my role as head of Programming to serve as chair of Anime Fusion. Along with the rest of staff, I'm looking forward to bringing you a great event this October!

At Anime Fusion, we share a love for classic titles of the past as well as the latest big thing. We're putting a lot of effort into making sure new releases and retro hits are represented equally, and we hope you'll help out by recommending your favorites! Feel free to request the popular new titles you love, but give some thought to the classics that introduced you to anime and share them with the Anime Fusion community. What games, anime series, or costumes would you like to see make a comeback? Suggest them on our forums, and consider organizing a panel to get your fellow fans together at the convention!

With only six months to go until the main event, we're kicking things into high gear! Look for Anime Fusion representatives at other conventions in the area this summer, where you're welcome to make your suggestions in person. First and foremost, this convention is all about giving our attendees the best weekend we can. Tell us what you love most about conventions or what you've been missing at other events, and we'll do our best to bring it to you at Fusion!

Chairman of Anime Fusion

Due to the variety of schedules that our staff members have, we will be implementing online staff meetings into our normal routine. This will not be used as a replacement method for meetings.

Every few months we will offer the option to attend an online voice conference meeting. During these months of offering, our normal meetings will proceed as normal. It has yet to be determined if these meetings will occur during the normal meeting times or during another time frame in the week.

We still encourage staff members to attend the normal meetings. The online conference meetings are only to be used as a last resort in the case that a staff member cannot attend or has several conflicting scheduling issues.

Andrew here...

Back in early July 2011, Quad Cities Anime, which is our parent organization, became incorporated. This is a major milestone for Anime Fusion as it allows us to continue the convention planning process.

We are currently looking at different hotels in the Minneapolis - St. Paul area but have not ruled out other hotels in different cities. Most importantly is that we have the green light for continued plans of a convention.

Now more than ever, we are looking for those individuals that want to make a difference, who would like to see another convention succeed in Minnesota. We look to the fans for support... Spread the word, We look forward to making a great convention for the community!

WE'RE GOING TO ANIMINNEAPOLIS !!!

Be sure to stop by and say hello to us at Anime Fusion's table. We look forward to seeing everyone there!!!
