We’re only hours away from our totally awesome convention.

We’ve toiled long and hard, and you’ve all registered and helped us get to where we are. The only thing left to do is flip the switches and have a wonderful weekend!

Please remember to take a gander at our Schedule to find out what is when, and check our Getting there section to find us!

Thank you all so much, lets have a great weekend!!

This is also a reminder to those that havn’t paid to please make the transfer ASAP & if you’ve experienced any problems with the pre-registration system to email us here and we’ll take care of you.

In other absolutely exciting news we’ve finalised details about our After Party! We really encourage everyone and everyone to come along because its a great way to meet the people behind the convention, unwind after the con and just have a great time!

Also we hope plenty of people can participate in our Scavenger Hunt! This year’s is part wild goose chase and part murder mystery.

Also a reminder that we’ll have the OzTaku Artists Corner running all weekend, which should prove to be a fountain of creative excellence.

And please dont forget to drop by the AI-Con Games Room which will also be running for the length of the con.

Also I want to remind everyone that Pre-Registration will be closing this Sunday the 28th of February. So get in before then to save yourself some cash and jump the line-ride!

Our events co-ordinator would like to remind everyone to please register yourself for the cosplay competition please!

You can now buy tickets for the con at “Niko Niko” in Cat & Fiddle Arcade in the Hobart CBD! Please go & take a look at one of the better anime/jculture stores in Hobart.

Better yet please go ahead and check out our Art competition. Entries can either be pre-reg’d or brought on the day of the con. To read more click here.

We’ve also cooked up a new special event called “Deal or no Deal“. Inspired by the prime-time TV gameshow, we think you’ll enjoy the anime-ified format!

Also please remember that Pre-Reg has been extended till the end of Febuary so get in now and save money!!

Also, pre-reg’ing means you get to jump the line-ride, how cool is that?

Once again, look forward to more information on what AICon has to offer in 2010 shortly! And if you haven’t already, make sure to join our forum and also follow us via RSS here.

Join us for AICon 2010: The Trial of Ichiro as we put our mascot before a jury of his peers.
Over the weekend the theme will be used in a variety of ways throughout the events including special prizes for theme entries, so embrace the theme, either enforcing the law, or as the criminal masterminds bringing chaos to AICon!

Information about next year’s AICon will gradually appear on the site within a week or two, so please bear with us as we get our paperwork together in preparation for onlineness.

For those of you with RSS readers (Google Reader, Firefox, etc), you can keep up to date with us and be notified of updates by subscribing here. We will keep you informed on the main page (and of course by RSS) when we add new information to the website.
