Zenkaikon Membership

Pre-registration for Zenkaikon 2012 is now open! Zenkaikon 2012 will be a festival-like celebration of anime, manga, cosplay, and Japanese pop culture. We hope you will join us by purchasing a membership below!

This year, all Zenkaikon memberships will include entry on both days of the convention, and access to all events. Due to Zenkaikon 2012 being a two-day event, and as a thank you to all our members who have supported us these past six years, we are happy to offer significantly reduced registration rates for this year.

Registration Policies and Procedures

Membership Pickup

Please note that Zenkaikon does not mail tickets. Membership materials will be available for pickup at the pre-registration desk upon arrival to the convention. You will need your Driver's License, Student ID, or another type of photo identification to check in. Additionally, for any 18+ events, we will need a government-issued ID to give you an admission bracelet.

Minors at Zenkaikon

All members who will be under the age of 18 as of May 11, 2012 will be required to complete and bring a signed Parental Consent Form to present at the registration check-in desk. Copies of these forms will be available at the convention, or may be downloaded here. Thank you for complying with this policy for the safety of ourselves and our attendees.

All members who will be under the age of 13 as of May 11, 2012 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

All children under 6 years of age do not need to pay for admission to Zenkaikon. Please do not list them under "Additional Registrants" on the registration form, as you will be charged for them. Instead, please note their names and age in the "Comments" field.
