Become a dealer in MechaCon’s Dealers Room
Bridging the genres of Anime and Transformers with Japanese cultural exhibits, panels and presentations, MechaCon is the first and only convention of its kind. With a large number of our attendees choosing MechaCon as their very first convention experience, MechaCon offers dealers a virtually untapped market of fans eager to partake in your offerings. Please visit our Dealers page to see who will be in our 2016 Exhibitor’s Hall or to find out how to become a dealer at MechaCon!
Show your work at MechaCon’s Artists Alley
MechaCon’s Artist Alley is a place where artists, modelers, and small publishers can have the opportunity to display and/or solicit their works to our attendees. Artists can also use this area to take commissions and create new works. Some Artist Alley participants may choose to use their space to advertise their services or promote their clubs. Open to all artists, from beginners to professionals and studios, artists can use this opportunity to get their art out to the public and to meet fans of their works. Visit our Artists Alley page to find out how to be a part of it!
Be a part of the team
As MechaCon grows, so does the need for more and more volunteers. Here’s where YOU come in! Team MechaCon has need for volunteers at nearly every level of convention presentation. Volunteering is a great way to show your support of MechaCon and also helps if you decide to apply for a staff position later. Many of our current Core and Support staff began as volunteers… just like you! Visit our Volunteers page to find out to contribute to making MechaCon a success!
Showcase your business in MechaCon’s Program Book
Now is your chance to have your name associated with this unique event! Placing an ad in the official MechaCon™ Program Book will help introduce our attendees to your store, service, business, or company. Even if you cannot attend the event, ads are a great way to show support for our local effort. Your business need not be local, although while in town many MechaCon attendees travel to various businesses represented in the program book just to see places of interest while in the New Orleans area. They want to shop, eat in restaurants, and do things they can only do here in NOLA. Local fans learn about businesses new to them in their own neighborhoods, and can become loyal repeat customers. Some become mail order customers, once they are made aware of your goods or services. Don’t let your business be overlooked! Visit our Advertising page and take advantage of this great opportunity!
