Welcome to J1-Con – once known as Philadelphia’s #1 anime convention has moved to Atlantic City! Are you a fan of animation, cosplay, gaming (tabletop, card and console), artists, vendors, panels, and live music? You’ve come to the right convention! You can enjoy all of that here, for a GREAT PRICE!
Established in Philadelphia (2012) under the J1 Studios LLC brand, J1-Con is a convention that focuses on animation, gaming, comic books, art, music, education and content creation. J1-Con is known for being the longest running 100% Black-owned anime convention in the United States, bringing a diverse audience of cosplayers, artists, vendors, musical acts, families, and students together in order to celebrate the love they share for geek pop culture.
