EXP Convention is a weekend long all ages event to be held at the Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village's St. Johns County Convention Center. The main purpose of EXP Con is to celebrate and promote American and Japanese video gaming, Japanese animation also known as anime, manga which are Japanese graphic novels, cosplay which is the act of creating and modeling costumes based on characters from Japanese and American media, and the melding of Japanese and American pop-culture.

Registering at EXP Con at different levels nets you different perks. Check out that information here http://www.expcon.org/registration.php

People who like video games and/or Japanese animation would think these people are awesome. They will be here:

Mega64 – My favorite people on the internet.

Chris Sabat – Voice of Vegeta from Dragonball Z and more.

There will be many people from the video game and Japanese animation industry in attendance to talk about game design and stuff. That’s something I would check out. There will be more people I think people would agree are famous in the Industry announced very soon. Too many people? It's all good.
