We hope it provides a safe space for people who like all things anime, including cosplay, gaming, and geek culture. With this group, you can expect events like conventions, films at local theaters, seasonal anime screenings, arcade nights, and more!
Our reoccurring events include the following:
- Seasonal Anime Screening (once a season)
- Picnic/Potluck (once a season)
- Arcade Nights (every month)
- Bring Your Own Manga Book Club (every month at a new coffee shop)
If you have any event suggestions feel free to message to the organizers. If you would like to host events, don't hesitate to reach out. :D
We have a girl's group (get in touch with Neikey, one of our organizers), and a guy's group (get in touch with Mike, one of our organizers) to provide a safe space for people and allow people to hang out offline.

Details
Convention meetup for Chicago Anime Hangouts! Show up & have fun, :D this is on Saturday, May 24th.
Dibscon is a one-day anime convention held in DePaul University's Lincoln Park Student Center. The event is open to the public!
The organizer will communicate through photos, chat, comments, WhatsApp & other communication channels to make sure you're in the right space.
~12:00 pm: We'll probably try to meet as a group & socialize, take photos, etcetera.
Post meet-up: Feel free to come to the Funny and Fascinating Presentations: Learn and Laugh with a Twist event afterwards!
**disclaimer
Logistically, we will try to agree to meetup at a specific location every so often to check in on people & see if people want to try out different things on the convention floor together/split off.
We imagine people will want to split up & do different things whether it's artist alleys, cosplay, & events among other things. We do want a space for people to come together & hang out for a bit if possible. :D
Hope to see you there!
