Naka-Kon Anime Convention

Naka-Kon is an annual 3-day convention, celebrating anime, manga, cosplay, music, fashion, gaming, and more! Every year, we bring voice actors, musicians, cosplayers, artists, designers, and industry experts to the Overland Park Convention Center. Catch guest panels and performances, be part of our cosplay competitions, enter contests, and learn about working in the anime, manga, and music industries. Were thrilled to provide a truly Japanese experience, including not just anime, manga, and cosplay, but also culture. Naka-Kon brings Japan to the Midwest in an authentic way, from panels about language, food, and the symbolism behind your favorite stories to sake tastings and cultural festivals. We also host a variety of fan panels. Naka-Kon is a volunteer-run organization. We rely on our dedicated volunteers for all our staffing needs, with great opportunities to build your resume and gain valuable skills in a variety of fields
