OKAY! Things are FINALLY finished on this site. After school, work, work, school, school, school, school, and work, I managed to finish the dealer's registration! Unfortunately, just when I was able to get the time to actually upload it onto the site, my entire server bit the dust. We've been down for about a week before everything has been worked out. I know it sucks. But it's finished regardless. Very sorry for the inconveniance!

What is Pokettokon?
Pokettokon is Central Illinois' first anime convention. It made it's debut January 13, 2007 at Illinois Central College in East Peoria, IL. Named for the idea of being a "pocket-sized" conevention, it showed a lot of promise to having a good first year attendence before mother nature decided to shoot us down. However, despite the poor weather, it saw quite the turn out, and went smoothly enough to gaurentee a second year. With musical guests, panels, a game show (with a prize that was man handled by the staff and a number of the con goers), a cosplay contest, anime viewing, and just the atmosphere of a bunch of anime fans getting together and hanging out, the staff tried our best to make it the best nine hours we could. And next year, we hope to make it even better. In the end, we hope to be the biggest "pocket-sized" convention we can be.

Hours
Due to the limitations of our location, Pokettokon is only open from 10 am to 7 pm. Please be aware of this as you are making your plans.
