AlmaCon

AlmaCon AlmaCon is a not-for-profit anime and gaming convention hosted by student volunteers at Alma College Check back often to see our progress.

We are an anime and gaming convention hosted by the student members of PAGE (Pop culture, Anime, Gaming & Entertainment)! Our mission in planning AlmaCon is to involve those in our community who have an interest in anime, Japanese culture, & tabletop and video gaming. Additionally, all proceeds from ticket sales for the convention are being donated to charity. Come support a great cause while you spend a fun weekend with other members of the large community!
