About
First of all, what is METROCON?
METROCON is a three day convention held each year in Tampa, Florida that is dedicated to anime, Japanese music, cosplay, and more! What began as a means for the members of GundamWing.com and AnimeMetro.com's forums to meet in person has grown into Florida's largest anime convention!
METROCON is held at the Tampa Convention Center:
333 S Franklin St
Tampa, Florida 33602
The cost of METROCON varies on when you want to attend and how long. Please see the Registration page of the website for the most current and up-to-date information.
METROCON 2009 Registration (as an example)
The official hotel for the convention is The Embassy Suites. Please see the Hotel Information page on the website for all further information concerning rates (as of 2009), location, parking, and contact info. Also located on this page is information concerning overflow hotels, such as the Sheraton.
2009's theme was Fantasy vs Sci-Fi with Steampunk as a sub-theme (and major theme of The Fantasy Masquerade). 2010's theme is going to be Ninja vs Samurai!
