“Anime Expo 2024” will be held in Los Angeles from July 4th to 7th! Recruitment of exhibitors for the Japan Pavilion has started

Anime Expo (commonly known as AX) is the largest anime festival in North America, attracting nearly 400,000 visitors from all over the world every year. In 2024, it will be held from July 4th to 7th at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Creative Vision Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Representative: Jokai Kato) has decided to open the “Festiv’ AX JAPAN Pavilion” as a Japan pavilion (JAPAN booth) in collaboration with the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry. At the same time, we have begun recruiting exhibitors who agree with the pavilion’s concept of “promoting today’s Japan to the world.” “Anime Expo” was originally born from the desire to “introduce Japanese culture.” Kon’s content is not limited to anime. The organizing secretariat is also increasing its desire to “show people a broader view of Japan,” and in response to such requests, we have decided to open the pavilion this time.

“Anime Expo” is the largest anime exhibition in the United States. In recent years, anime voice actors, singers, the dance group His Loop, and Japanese artists have participated from Japan, and these guests have been invited to participate in panel discussions, autograph sessions, and screenings of new animated films. Nearly 400,000 people attended, making it the largest “Japanese culture” event in North America, which is expected to have a huge spread not only in news media but also in online media.

The venue is the Los Angeles Convention Center, located in downtown Los Angeles, about 20 minutes by car from Los Angeles International Airport.

The JAPAN booth will be located at a prime location just after entering the main entrance! The Japan Pavilion will be held in a 15-panel booth (approximately 9m x 15m) in front of the main entrance of the Exhibit Hall, which is a competitive area for both visitors and exhibitors.

■Booth concept image

~An exhibition unit of plain wood and canvas that gives you a sense of Japanese naturalness~

At the Japan Pavilion, each company can use one unit and exhibit freely. The JAPAN booth is made up of a display unit of “Shiraki and Canvas” designed to maintain the friendliness of festival stalls while adding an elegant image. The “overall size of the booth” and “unified design as a booth” that cannot be achieved by a standalone booth will attract more visitors.

■Mini stage

A mini stage will also be set up inside the pavilion, and entertainment elements such as performances by characters and an anime song DJ will be added. In addition to the design of the JAPAN booth, we are planning to create a design that will draw in visitors with sound and liveliness.
