Info

Ten Years of Kumoricon There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people who deserve to be thanked over the last ten years. From every founder who took a chance with an anime convention in the city of Springfield, OR, to the staff who have joined us in just the last few weeks, and every city, every business, every guest we have ever had. Each and every one of these people has helped create the convention you are enjoying. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine being ten years into what we all hope will be the long life of Kumoricon, and then there are days when you open your eyes and realize that a new year for the convention is just around the corner, and it all feels like it moves too fast. Contracts get signed, guests get announced, badges come in the mail, and before you know it con has come and gone. We all look forward to those three to four days where we converge on a space and celebrate one of our favorite things: Japanese culture. It’s no surprise that we miss it after it’s done, but sometimes as staff, we often find the most enjoyment in the preparation. Think back the last ten years: where were you when you first heard about Kumoricon? Who did you go to your first convention with? Your first panel? Your first cosplay? Kumoricon isn’t just about the past though. We are always looking to the future— hoping for bigger events, larger spaces, a higher attendance and more fun than ever. We know where we have been, and we remember everyone who has brought us here, and now we look to the future. What lies in store for Kumoricon in the next ten years? Who honestly knows! What we do know is that we are excited to be a part of it. And to every attendee who volunteers, every staff who’s sitting down for a break, and everyone who is reading this well after the convention is done and over: Thank You. 46
