the con website has been updated (linked in the article) with more or less info.

I've considered AnimeNEXT my home con since it began, and I sincerely support this decision.
I hope they fundraise through phantom badge sales or do a limited online event. The AC Convention Center is not solid on accessibility, and the idea that an event *may not*enforce their own policies goes against all sense and sensibility. |

I can't blame them considering. They get a price hike because they weren't there for two years? Gee, I wonder why they wouldn't have held a convention there those years? No cooperation on safety measures. And another event happening nearby is just a pain. I've been to conventions where another big event was in town for part of it, and it sucked, aside from the food trucks that showed up for the day of overlap.
It sounds like they ended up with not a lot of cooperation in exchange for those contractual obligations, so using it for staff time was the way to go. |

I haven't been to this con since the mid 00's so kinda fell off the radar. Sounds like it might be time to find another venue, if that is even an option.

It's less. I am assuming the page originally had more information than they were either allowed to disclose or that the site would rather not have them disclose. It might be a little of both since lawyers are involved. |

Loved AnimeNEXT for a decade now. Never was a fan of the AC venue.
Really sucks that this is an issue and they're having issues with them. Somerset will always be my favorite venue of theirs, AC venue much less so due to many reasons. But hopefully they can find an awesome home for next year and onwards! |

I love AnimeNEXT it was such an easy con to get to from Philly, because the convention center is attached to the Convention Center. I'd been going to AnimeNEXT for years, I first went to AnimeNEXT when at it's previous location in Sommerset but stopped because it was far from where I was living at the time and the con wasn't well organized, but once I went to college in Philly it was a no brainer.
