Naka-Kon 2024, held from May 24 to May 26 at the Overland Park Convention Center in Kansas, delivered another exciting edition of the beloved anime convention.
This annual three-day convention, celebrates anime, manga, cosplay, music, fashion, and gaming. Every year, they bring bring in a variety of voice actors, musicians, cosplayers, artists, designers, and industry experts. Attendees can see guest panels and performances, be part of cosplay competitions, enter contests, and learn about working in the anime, manga, and music industries.
Rate the Con
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We hope to eventually have a rating system set up for many of the conventions.

**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**
