Event Information:

• Panels / Workshops
  Want to talk about your favorite anime or find out more about your favorite voice actor? Our panels cover various topics and include learning workshops. They are hosted by guests, industry representatives, and fans like you!

• Video Rooms
  What would an anime convention be without anime? Each year Anime Boston presents the best and most popular anime titles out there. There are premiere screenings and sometimes we throw in classic titles as well.
• Masquerade and Other Cosplay Programming
  Part play, part fashion show, part role-play game, part workshop, part contest... Masquerade and Cosplay have it all.

• Anime Music Video Contest
  The Anime Music Video Contest is an exhibition and competition of fan-created music videos with an anime theme. Videos will be submitted from across the globe and narrowed down to a group of finalists. Those finalist videos will be screened before an audience at Anime Boston. This year adds an exciting new 'no holds barred' contest for those 18+, where even hentai footage is acceptable.

• Charity Auction
  Proceeds from the Charity Auction benefit the Central New England Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Drop by to vie for manga, anime, models, art, and one-of-a-kind prizes like a lifetime membership to Anime Boston.
  Come help us raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society!

• Game Shows
  Anime Boston has quite a selection of amazing game shows this year. Each one is sure to be a blast! We've put a lot of work into them and we hope you participate and win excellent prizes.
• Artists' Alley
  The Artists' Alley is the section of the convention where talented individuals gather to display and sell their creations. If you're looking to get a commissioned piece of custom drawn artwork, this is the place to visit.
  
• Art Show
  Some of the best area artists will be displaying their works in Anime Boston's Art Show. Many of the items you will see will be for sale.
• Swap Meet
  Is there something you bought which only caused you to realize you'd rather have something else? Is an extra copy of a book or a video floating around your home because you didn't remember you already had it in your collection? Are you certain there's someone that could benefit from owning your VHS copy of Odin more than you? If you could answer "yes" to any of these questions - ESPECIALLY the one about Odin - or even if you couldn't answer "yes", but are just really lonely, the Swap Meet may be the place for you.
• Karaoke
  Anime Boston's karaoke lounge will return once again. Grab the microphone and share your own rendition of your favorite anime theme or J-pop hit.
  

• Dances
  Get ready to get your groove on and show everyone how it's done! We'll be hosting some big dances at Anime Boston for 2008. Featuring anime, video game, electronic, and dance music! You'll also find out information about the Formal Ball here!
• Video Games
  Come and check out all the newest games Japan has to offer, dance your heart away to DDR, or enjoy the classic games from yesteryear. We will have more tournaments, more prizes, and more fun!

• Live Gaming
  Not all the games at Anime Boston need to be plugged into the wall. If you're into card games, pen and paper role-playing, or want to join a LARP, we've got a wide variety to offer.
