Retrievercon 2023
Panels, Cosplay Contest, Vendors, Anime Showings, and More!
Saturday, March 11, 2023 · 10:30 AM - 8 PM
Join us for Retrievercon, the annual convention hosted by the UMBC Anime Society, back in-person at last! Are you a life-long anime fan? Or are you thinking of becoming one? Then this is the event for you! Whether you're a convention veteran or have never had the chance to attend a convention before, we have something for everyone—awesome vendors, anime showings, a cosplay contest, panels, special guests, free food, and more! Come on down to The Commons (and Lecture Hall 01) for some anime fun!
Of particular note is the Cosplay Contest at 1 PM in the Skylight Room, which is being co-hosted with the Cosplay Coalition! There will be prizes provided by our sponsor, Rightstuf! You can register for the cosplay contest here: https://forms.gle/TH7rwAWcQNntWqi78.
Our full schedule will be posted on MyUMBC and on our website soon, but we will have a packed schedule, with events being held all over the Commons and Lecture Hall 01 throughout the day! This includes panels from our special guests, Otaku Brain Trust, who will wow you with their anime knowledge!
We will also have games (of both the board and video varieties), trivia contests if you want to test your anime knowledge, and a full roster of vendors and artists (including UMBC students and alumni)!
Some parts of our event will also be streamed online as part of a hybrid convention experience—these will be held on Discord: https://discord.gg/nzMYKmfVeB.
