Ambassador Alley<\/h3>\n

While No Brand Con is proud to be the first and longest running anime convention in the state of Wisconsin, over the years the convention scene in the midwest has grown considerably with other conventions now being run in many other cities all over the state. We’re very happy and fortunate to have strong working relationships with these conventions which helps to spread and celebrate fandom in anime, video games, science fiction, and other similar areas of interest. <\/p>\n

We have an area set aside where the organizers of other conventions will have tables where you can get more information about their respective events. If you run an event and would like to arrange a table trade, please contact us<\/a> and we may be able to arrange it if space is available.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
