About AmiKon
AmiKon is the result of over two years hard work and planning by past and current members of DCU’s Anime and Manga Society. The society previously ran then assisted in the running of the much loved and hugely successful Eirtakon, which ran for 12 years from 2004 until its untimely demise in 2016. The society was determined to start fresh, and set about planning a brand new convention built from the ground up, putting the fans and the anime community at its core and with the generous and much appreciated support of DCU.
The Venue
AmiKon 2019 will be held in DCU’s new Student Centre, The U, located on DCU’s Glasnevin Campus. The state-of-the-art facility was built with large social events in mind, spanning 3 floors and over 5,500 sq m. The U will house all of AmiKon’s panels, screenings and events for the weekend, with ample space for attendees to socialise and hang out over the weekend.
