Thank you for your interest in bringing your Maid Café group to Y2Kon: Grand Rapids!

Groups are responsible for their own staffing, presentation, and operations while coordinating with convention staff for scheduling and space requirements.
Individuals or groups interested in performing may also consider applying through our Panelist & Programming applications.
