Anime Dublin
Anime Dublin was first mooted as an idea in 2011, as a way of helping to bring Eirtakon and Nom-Con (the two largest and oldest anime conventions in Ireland) closer together, and also filling a gap in the market for an early Spring event. The name is thanks to John Doyle, co-founder of Eirtakon, who floated the idea many years ago as a way to help expand the anime community in Ireland. Plus, it gives us an excuse to say 2015 A.D.!
Our first year in 2012 was wildly successful and we've been building on that every year, pushing as much as we can to introduce new events, original games and a polished convention experience that's suitable for all-ages. We make sure to work with the hotel staff to provide a welcoming, fun atmosphere in a safe environment for anime fanatics across Ireland to converge and have a great day out!
