About US
Miryokucon is a fan-friendly anime convention based in Baltimore. Founded in 2022 by Tom Stidman, the first Miryokucon was held the following year. Our staff includes a number of fandom and convention veterans. Our goal is to fill a vacuum for anime cons in Baltimore and highlight community creators.
Miryokucon is now owned by the Mid-Atlantic Anthropomorphic Association, Inc., which is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization seeking to promote charitable giving, social responsibility, and education in creative disciplines via community-driven cultural events. MidAnthro is committed to Miryokucon’s continued growth as Baltimore’s premier Anime Event.
