No Brand Con is an annual three day anime convention held during April at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. The convention was founded by members of the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire Anime Appreciation Society.[1] No Brand Con's name was derived from the closing credits theme of the anime Here Is Greenwood.[1]

Programming

No Brand Con features anime viewings, an anime music video contest, artist alley, board games, comics, dealers room, independent films, panels, role playing, video games tournaments, and voice actor appearances.[1][2][3][4]

History

In 2005 the convention moved to the Plaza Hotel and Suites, which allowed for food sales, and the convention to run for a full 24 hours.[3] From 2006-2010 the convention was located at the Ramada Inn Convention Center, until returning to the Plaza Hotel and Suites for 2011.[5] In 2011, the convention brought around $277,000 to the economy of Eau Claire, and held a benefit for the Japanese Red Cross.[6][7]
