What’s New for 2025: Part 1
Over the past year, we’ve spent a lot of time reviewing feedback, ideas, and suggestions from many of you, our staff, and our community partners. We’ve taken a hard look at where we were doing well and where we could do better.
As a result, we’ve made several significant changes this year. The first we’d like to talk about is Guests.
In our review of feedback, Guests are one of the main reasons you come to Zenkaikon. Whether it’s for an autograph or the opportunity to learn more about who brings your favorite characters to life, many of you see Guests, especially the voice actors, as a key part of Zenkaikon.
And you’re right! They are a key part of the convention, so this year, we drastically increased our guest budget and sought out as many suggestions as possible to get people you felt connected with.
For 2025, we have three times our typical Guest number, and we’ve gotten so many guests that we’ve had to move autographs to the Exhibit Hall!
