About the event

Y2Kon is a pop culture convention celebrating everything that defined the 2000s — from anime, gaming, cartoons, and movies to music, fashion, and internet culture. The event brings fans together for guests, panels, vendors, cosplay, and interactive experiences inspired by the era that shaped a generation. Whether you grew up in the 2000s or discovered it later, Y2Kon is a full-scale throwback built for nostalgia and community.
