Izumicon

Izumicon was an annual three-day anime convention held during January at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Programming

The convention typically offered an artist's alley, dealers room, formal masquerade ball, gaming tournaments, maid cafe, rave, and video game room.

History

Marlon Stodghill was one of the conventions founders. During later legal action, Monica Rial accused fellow voice actor Vic Mignogna of inappropriate behavior that occurred at the 2007 convention. Snow/ice occurred during the first day of the 2017 convention and it severely affected attendance. Prior to the planned 2018 convention, Izumicon was sold by Dyad LLC to Ladder Entertainment LLC and changed venues to the Reed Conference Center. Several guests cancelled prior to the convention, with Izumicon officially cancelling the event in mid-August due to various issues. Those issues included most of the director level staff resigning and the convention having significant financial issues.
