Anime3000 | Convention Activation Program | 2026
A proposal for convention organizers who want to give their attendees something they have never experienced at an anime event before — and walk away with the content to prove it.
The Opportunity
Anime conventions have never drawn more attendees. But the in-hall experience has not evolved at the same rate. Panels, dealer rooms, and cosplay contests are the same format they were fifteen years ago. Attendees leave with merchandise and photos. Rarely with a story they will be telling for years.
Anime3000 is a media and community platform built specifically for the modern anime fan. We run weekly local events in cities across the country. We have a directory of stores, events, and creators. And we have a growing audience of fans who show up in person — not just online.
We have built a convention activation package. We are looking for one partner to launch it with. This is the pitch.

The Activation Package
A3K handles all four activations end to end. Your team provides the venue access, staff coordination, and in-event promotion. We handle the production, the format, the talent, and the content output.
Activation 01
The Scavenger Hunt
A multi-day, convention-wide competition open to every attendee. Clues and checkpoints are distributed across the entire event floor — including through vendor areas and sponsor booths. Attendees compete individually or in teams. Rankings are updated live. Prizes are awarded at a closing ceremony. The hunt is the reason people leave their seat and explore the whole floor.
Convention benefit: vendor floor foot traffic, full-event engagement across all 3-5 days
Activation 02
GeekFon Society Party
A curated evening event hosted under the GeekFon Society brand — the cultural arm of the Anime3000 community. Open to convention attendees and A3K community members in the host city. Music, art, live entertainment, and a room full of people who actually love the culture. Not a rave. Not a mixer. A celebration.
Convention benefit: off-floor buzz, evening programming, co-branded brand association
Activation 03
Live Game Show
An original, hosted live game show produced by A3K and performed on the convention floor. Fan participation, audience energy, and a format built from the ground up to create shareable moments. The kind of content that gets clipped, posted, and talked about long after the event closes.
Convention benefit: panel room programming, spectator traffic, organic social moments
Activation 04
Social Content Package
A3K embeds a content team at your event for the full run. We capture, produce, and deliver a complete package of social-ready content: short-form reels, recap videos, highlight cuts, and still photography. The deliverable reaches your team before the event closes — ready to post for next year's ticket push before this year's attendees have left the parking lot.
Convention benefit: post-event marketing assets, next-year promotion head start
Convention Partner Deliverables
This is not a sponsorship. It is a production partnership. Here is what is included at every tier.
Full Activation Production
A3K owns all four activations operationally. We build the hunt, produce the game show, plan the party, and manage the content team. Your staff does not carry the weight.
Vendor Floor Traffic
Scavenger Hunt checkpoints are placed in vendor areas and sponsor booths. The hunt is the mechanism that moves attendees through the floor for three to five days.
Social Content Package
A produced content package — reels, recaps, highlights — delivered to your team before the event closes. Use it immediately for next-year ticket sales.
A3K Audience Promotion
We promote your event to our active community in every city it draws from — through our weekly event infrastructure and targeted campaigns built around your dates.
Co-Branding
The launch convention is prominently featured in all future A3K activation pitch materials. First-mover positioning in a program that expands after the debut.
Editorial Coverage
A3K publishes event coverage on the platform and pushes it to the community. Your event reaches the A3K audience before and after it happens.
