Welcome to EirtaKon 2008!
Welcome to the website of EirtaKon 2008, the largest ( and, well, only ;) ) anime convention in the Republic of Ireland. EirtaKon is now in it's fourth year.
Every year the Anime & Manga society of Dublin City University works with members of eirtaku.com to deliver an event where all the anime fans in the country (and outside the country!) can come together under a united passion for anime and manga. This event caters to a broad audience of people who like to watch anime, read manga, play games and dress up in all sorts of costumes, where people can watch anime, buy from retailers who come from around the country (and the world!) and most importantly, meet up with people who share their interests :)
This year a special guest from the anime industry will be visiting the convention, Vic Mignogna (voice of Edward Elric from FMA amongst others).
Closer to the date of the convention we'll be putting up a timetable of events and showings to help you organise yourself (this will be in the convention booklet too), so keep checking back.
You can pre-register for the convention this year (limited time only, so get your registration in!) to make your registration at the convention smoother and get that all important con T-shirt.
Pre-registration is now closed. You can still register on the day of the convention at the registration desk.
The event is held in the student centre (The Hub) of Dublin City University in Dublin 9. More information on getting to the college can be found here.
If you're from outside of Dublin you can find a list of potential accommodations here.
The event is held from the 14th to the 16th of November this year, passes for the event are €12 for one day and €18 for the weekend.
If you have questions or want to talk to the staff and attendees of EirtaKon, visit our forums (you must register an account on eirtaku.com to post).
We hope to see you at the convention this year!
