We're going back to the Bertam Inn & Conference Center!

Here's a quick update from our hotel liaison: 
​
We know you want to get your hotel rooms set for ConCoction 2019, and we are working on it.  
We've got some really cool stuff for this year on the hotel end (did somebody just whisper "Food Truck Friday" in your ear?  I think I heard that, too).  But as is always the case in contract talks, it takes time.  We're very close.  Very, very close. 
I'm hoping to have an active reservation link up and running around November 01.  Looking forward to seeing you all in March!!!

We had a fantastic time again at NyanCon!
 
NyanCon is a celebration of anime and fandom and is hosted at Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, OH through their Active Society for Animation Preservation (ASAP).  

Panels, Workshops, performances, vendors and more - it was definitely a day to see, be seen, and have fun!  

Special thanks to the NyanCon Staff, our neighbors at GaoKon, our friends at NE Geek Expo, our friends at The Confused Greenies, and the ladies of Rainbow's Maid Cafe. 

Until next year!
Nya Nya!  >^_^<
