History
Background
Zenkaikon was founded by the merger of two local events, Kosaikon – an anime convention held at Villanova University – and Zentrancon – an anime and science fiction convention held on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Kosaikon held its first event in 2003, where 75 individuals came together to celebrate their interest in Japanese animation. Zentrancon's debut convention took place in October 2005, when 350 people came to Philadelphia to watch anime and science fiction screenings, meet celebrity guests, and participate in video gaming.
The decision to merge was originally proposed as both conventions wanted to expand, and realized that, together, they could create an even more fun and exciting event for anime fans in the Philadelphia area. Thus, in 2006, Zentrancon became Zenkaikon, and moved to the larger venue of the Valley Forge Scanticon Hotel and Conference Center in King of Prussia, PA. This year will make the convention’s third at the Center. Last year’s convention had 570 attendees, over a 50% increase since 2005, and the staff of Zenkaikon hopes to continue that trend in 2008. With a pre‐registration list that is nearly 300% of last year's, it appears that they are off to a promising start.
Zenkaikon is staffed completely by volunteers, many of whom are young (under the age of 40), and all of whom want to share their appreciation for Japanese popular culture with the Philadelphia region. Japanese animation (anime) is a genre that attracts people of all ages and backgrounds. International sales of anime in 2007 reached US$2.26 billion1. In addition, the ten largest anime conventions in the U.S. attracted well over 150 thousand fans last year. While Zenkaikon is still small compared to the largest conventions, its staff hopes that by growing slowly each year, they can build an event that will continue to be an integral part of culture in the Philadelphia region for many years to come.

Web Comic Artists
Jessi Bavolack and Matt Pascal One night after staying home and getting drunk, Matt Pascal and Jessi Bavolack realized that they were geeks in love. Having nothing better to do, they decided to create a web comic to chronicle the crazy events that either happened or were imagined in their lives. Thus, Geeks Next Door was born. Jessi draws amusing pictures while Matt comes up with funny things to say. See what's new in the lives of the comic couple at www.geeksnextcomic.com.
Charles Batschelet Charles Batschelet is the writer and illustrator of Subpar. Subpar is Charles’ outlet for his creativity and his first attempt at a web comic. It has developed since its start in October 2006 into a comic with a good core following. The characters are all aspects of Charles’ personality (such as mischief , or dry sarcastic humor), or those people who are special to his life. Check out the latest adventures of Pursey, Par, Squint and Bunny at www.subparcomic.com.
Laura and Will Robinson While wandering in Tokyo, Wilfred and Laura Robinson conceived of an idea to start a web comic to chronicle their exploits. The idea was tragically lost in a Godzilla‐monster attack. Months later, safely back in America, the stubborn idea found its way back to them, and interrupted one of their weekly Dungeons and Dragons gaming sessions. The comic and the game merged into one entity when the hilariously funny Michael Gans joined them as a writer. Thus was born Friday Knights, where humor meets critical failure. Come join them at www.friday‐ knights.net. 12
Convention Policies
All attendees of Zenkaikon 2008 are expected to abide by the following rules and guidelines.
Rowdy or Disruptive Behavior
The staff of Zenkaikon strives to create a safe and family friendly environment for the convention. In order to do this, we need the participation of our members in stopping rowdy or disruptive behavior.
No running in the hallways.
No loitering in the center of the hallways. Please sit on the couches and chairs at the sides of the hallways to cut down on hallway congestion.
No yelling or screaming in the hallways, panel rooms, video rooms, etc.
Limit the amount of public affection (e.g. French kissing).
No “Truth or Dare,” “Spin the Bottle,” or other inappropriate games inside the convention area.
No smoking or consuming alcohol inside the convention (defined as our official areas in the downstairs of the Scanticon). Smoking may be done outside of the Scanticon in the designated areas.
No roughhousing or wrestling.
Please wait patiently in line. If someone is caught cutting in line, they will be sent to the back of the line. Please do not block entrances or exits with the line; leave a gap there.
No nudity or profanity. The dress code for this convention is PG‐13. Zenkaikon is a family‐ friendly event and attendees are asked to dress accordingly. Zenkaikon staff reserves the right to ask an attendee to change clothes if their clothing is deemed inappropriate.
No panhandling or selling (except for the dealers and artists).
13
No entering any area that is specifically labeled “Staff Only.” This also includes sitting in chairs at doors that are for reserved for Zenkaikon staff and gophers to check badges, or sitting at any other staff‐only post.
No glomping, hugging, or touching other attendees without their permission.
No entrance to the convention before the posted hours of operation. If you arrive early, please wait in the lobby of the Scanticon until the registration desk is open.
We also prohibit any other behavior that we may have neglected to mention in the list, but that involves violating someone’s personal space or doing things that common sense dictates you should not do.
Cameras and Photography
Most areas of Zenkaikon allow photography, unless otherwise specified. Additionally, there are some photo guidelines we request that attendees follow:
No harassing guests or attendees for photos of or with them. It is proper procedure to first ask if you may take a photo. If they decline, please respect their request.
No harassing minors or small children for photos or attention.
Please be considerate when stopping to take photos in the hallway by making the photo stop short and not blocking the main flow of hallway traffic.
Signs Policy
No solicitation signs (“Glomps for Free”, etc.).
Other types of signs are only allowed if they are an integral part of a costume (such as the sign carried by Genma the Panda in Ranma ½).
Etiquette with Guests
Autographs are limited to two items per person.
Guests will not sign any bootleg or illegal item. Please bring licensed items only.
14
If you are having a CD autographed, please remove the CD insert before you reach the front of the line to save time.
Please have whatever item you want autographed ready to be signed by the time you reach the front of the line.
Do not take up a lot of the guests’ time when you reach the front of the line. To save time, think of what you want to say to the guest as having a 30 second limit, and try writing it down before you get there.
Special policy for press: If you would like to interview one of our guests, please notify us at [email protected] as soon as possible, so that we can arrange a time with the appropriate parties.
Weapons Policy
No guns are allowed, whether they are real or fake. The Scanticon Hotel and Conference Center has asked that there be no toy or prop guns of any kind (including airsoft guns, flare guns, etc.).
No live steel is allowed. We define "live steel" as any objects made of metal that is capable of taking an edge, whether or not the object is actually sharp, and whether or not the object is sheathed.
Weapons purchased in the dealers room must remain boxed and immediately removed to your car, room or other private quarters.
No nunchaku.
No explosives or chemicals of any kind including, but not limited to, smoke powder, sparklers, and fireworks.
Types of fake weapons that are allowed: Wooden swords including boken, bo sticks, and shinai are allowed. Anything made of paper mache or other material that is not dangerous to others (e.g. has no sharp edges, or parts sticking out that might trip people as they walk by) is allowed. Please use common sense. If you would not take your item on public transportation in plain sight, then you should not have it.
Any metal chains are to be less than three feet (3'). This includes, but is not limited to, chain wallets or chains on non‐costume clothing.
All weapons and large props that are over three feet (3’) in any direction must be bonded. In other words, they must be inspected by a member of Zenkaikon staff and then tied with a piece of colored string or tape at the registration desk. If you do not have your weapon or prop with you at registration, find a member of the convention staff when you 15
bring it in, and they will find someone who can bond it for you.
The maximum prop size is five feet (5’).
Misuse of your prop such as swinging it or endangering others with it will result in Zenkaikon staff asking you to remove the prop from the Convention Center.
Children at Zenkaikon
We recommend that all children under the age of 18 attend with a parent or guardian.
Anyone under the age of 13 is required to have a parent or guardian with them at all times.
