ABOUT AI-KON: Ai-Kon (http://www.ai-kon.org) is Manitoba’s largest anime convention. An all-ages event, the goal of Ai-Kon is the promotion of Japanese/Asian animation and culture to the public. Started in 2001 by a local anime club, Ai-Kon took a reorganizing hiatus in 2002. It returned in 2003 to become an autonomous event, run by an independent volunteer committee. “Ai” means “love” in Japanese, hence Ai-Kon’s slogan “For the Love of Anime”.
