With three panel rooms and over 40 panels throughout the two days, there are a variety of fun topics to learn about, game shows to embark on, and shenanigans to be had. We challenged our panelists to bring something new, creative, and excited to Shenanicon, and they showed out! Check back closer to the con for insights into all the panels and the full schedule.

One of our featured Saturday events – the AMV Showcase puts the talents of creatives from all across the world on display as they combine your favorite anime titles and songs together for amazing videos. Make sure to stop by and see all the creations entered into the showcase.

Stop by the video gaming room presented by AVGC and Origin of Play which features a great mix of games of yesteryear and modern favorites. Grab your friends and challenge them to some Mario Kart, or hop into a throwback game of Ms. Pac-Man. Whatever you are thinking of trying out, stop by and have some fun!

We also encourage attendees to bring their own consoles, hook them up to the hotel room TVs, and game with friends in the front suite of the rooms – a great throwback to the early days of cons!

Meet other cosplayers, get photos with characters from your favorite shows, and experience the photogenic environment that the Embassy Suites Parsippany has to offer!
