Join us for our very first totally online edition of RetrieverCon, UMBC’s own anime convention, hosted by the UMBC Anime Society! We will be celebrating Japanese culture as well as anime and other media by hosting panels, showing some new and old anime, and creating a digital space where anime fans can still make the connections we would have in-person.
Our RetrieverCon Discord will be open to watch shows and discuss anime and other things with fellow congoers.We will be holding a few events on the server as well. On our official website, we will be streaming panels on Twitch! Check out our schedule when we release it the week leading up to the event to see what interests you!
A cosplay contest in collaboration with UMBC’s Cosplay Coalition will also be taking place from 1-2 pm. Prizes will be awarded to the 1st and 2nd place winners as well as the Viewers’ Choice--be sure to stop by to vote for your favorite cosplayer! Also, if you want to apply to the contest (by sending in a video of you in your cosplay), the application is open until March 10, so get your submissions in! Send your applications in here! https://forms.gle/z5CLUve5MNSfw3xWA
Looking for that sweet, sweet retail therapy that comes with cons too? We’re also promoting vendors and their digital stores! Check out the “Vendors” tab on our website to learn more.
We may not be holding the event in person, but we have some fantastic things planned. We hope to see you there!
