Messages From Our Chairman & President
We did it!
Thank you so much to all our attendees, volunteers, guests, and industry representatives, and also to those who joined us remotely through our first Otakon Connection livestream event. We had a great year, and cannot wait to start planning for 2022!
-- Brian Cutler, Otakon 2021 Convention Chair
I cannot thank our tireless volunteers enough for pulling off the unimaginable in such a short time! You are all ROCKSTARS! I'd also like to thank all of our partners in Washington, DC for helping us provide a welcoming environment for over 25,000 of our closest friends. But especially a HUGE thank you to all of our attendees for supporting us as the first large event "back" in DC since the pandemic started. We hope you had as much fun attending as we had putting it all together for you, and we cannot wait to see you in 2022!!
-- Brooke Zerrlaut, Otakorp President
