Applications Are open for Vendors for the next Otakukon event!
Otaku Konnect bring you the next OTAKUKON mini convention during Easter weekend on Saturday 19 April and Sunday 20 April 2025. The next event is Button Bash 2025, Zimbabwe’s first gaming focused event. This is our first two day event and day one is full on games; while day 2 is the usual con day with gaming, cosplay and merchants.
OTAKUKON events are an explosion of experience, festivals of fun, cosplay, gaming and a lot of friend-making. We provide a no judgment zone and collective meet up location for all Zimbabwean Otaku and fans of Japanese pop culture in general. We are the family barbeque without the drama!
As an artist or Merchant, we offer a great place to meet fans of your work and new customers. If you are a merchant, crafter, author or artist within the Otaku and nerd space, this is the place to be. Enjoy being able to come dressed as your favourite fictional character, make new Nakama and enjoy a multitude of outdoor games and fun with everyone else.
If you are a merchant or a crafter outside of the nerd space but feel you can can find customers within our youthful and urban attendees, then we open up this opportunity to you as well! Our attendees are not one dimensional, they have interests in plenty of other things: Fashion, tech, food, toys, and an all round good time.
