About
By anime fans, for anime fans
This is SeizaCon.
A family-friendly celebration of anime, gaming, creativity, and community—built by volunteers and growing across the Ohio Valley since 2009.
Our story
A new name. The same fan-first heart.
SeizaCon began in Evansville, Indiana in 2009 and has grown into a thriving community across the Ohio Valley.
Although the convention has moved from its original home and adopted a new name, it has not given up the commitment to fostering and growing the amazing community that made the event what it is today.
SeizaCon is a federally registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The convention is organized and run entirely by volunteers, including staff members from across Kentucky, Indiana, and as far away as Louisville who give their time to bring the event to life year after year.

Volunteer-run
