Too, this is the best webpage for all you need to know about anime cons.

Anime-cons.com

Just click on events and go from there. You can just look up anime cons that are in the US or in NA or overseas.

I'll be at Colossal Con this year - it'll be my third year there. Don't let that stop you from going, though. :sweat:
