I can pretty much tell you right now:
The parking lot is probably your best bet for a large gathering location. The hallways within the Scanticon are too narrow, and there's no areas big enough inside that will accommodate your gathering. One possibility is to see if htere are any time blocks when the stage in the main events room is empty, and you can use the empty stage for a photoshoot. You'll need to check with zenkaikon staff to see what the schedule is.
One possible alternate location may be the scanticon lobby, as it is large enough to accommodate a decent gathering. Just note that the lobby is not exclusive to just zenkaikon, but other events at the convention center access through the lobby as well. So there might be a chance the gathering could be chased away by convention center staff. If not, the lobby offers some open space to use.
The other possible location to use is the Radisson hotel lobby, which could be accessed through hallways from the scanticon. Not entirely sure where the radison lobby is, but your gathering could be held in the lobby if it's not disruptive to normal hotel usage or guests using the check-in/check out counter.
