Messages From Our Chairman & President
Wow, what a year!
Thank you for your attendance in what was a record breaking year! I personally appreciate the patience and understanding that you had with us as we grew to a level that took everyone by surprise.
I also wanted to reassure you that we hear your concerns regarding lining both inside and outside the convention center.
As always, it was so much fun to connect with the entire Otakon family this year, and I can't wait to continue to make Otakon better and better heading toward our 29th convention.
Thanks, and see you next year!
-- Brian Cutler, Otakon 2022 Convention Chair
What an unbelievable year!
Our all-volunteer staff truly gave their blood, sweat, and tears to make Otakon a success. We planned all year, and SO many more friends showed up then we expected.
I cannot THANK them enough for showing up when called, doing whatever was needed, and taking care of each other.
Every year we try to be better and do better. We hope everyone had a wonderful time, and a safe trip home. See you next year!!
-- Brooke Zerrlaut, Otakorp President
