PRIME PRE-REGISTER CLOSED!
Thank you to everyone who has pre-registered for Sukoshi Con PRIME! Pre-registering for our events is very important to us, as it gives us a prior head-count on how many attendees we could expect, so we can plan accordingly and provide a "prime" show for you!
Don't forget: PRIME is this weekend! If you pre-registered, you may begin picking up your badges at 9:00am on Saturday, December 7th, 2013! Walk-in attendees may begin buying their badges beginning at 9:30am on that day.

PRESS RELEASE REGARDING DESTINATION ANIME!
Due to the changing landscape in the Florida Panhandle convention circuit, Destination Anime will be changing to a SUMMER convention in 2015.
Sukoshi Con Chairman James Carroll comments, "New conventions are emerging, old ones are returning, others are relocating to the area, with all operating around 4th Quarter, and winter months. We believe moving to the Summer will prove beneficial to everyone by giving attendees more options throughout the year and alleviating oversaturation of the market."
Destination Anime 2014 will still be held in January at the
Emerald Coast Convention Center, but will change from a 3-day event to a
1-day event on
Saturday, January 4th, 2014. Confirmed guests include Voice Actor
Blake Shepard (Air Gear, Angel Beats) and Cosplay guest
Jessie Pridemore. The official convention hotel rate will remain $54.99 per night. Ticket prices are $20.00 pre-reg through January 1st, and $30.00 at door.
All pre-reg tickets purchased above $20.00 will be given a refund of the difference. Sukoshi Con will also offer a full refund for attendees wishing to cancel. Vendors will receive 50% off booth space. Artist Alley pricing will remain unchanged.
For all general inquiries pertaining to Destination Anime, please email
