Would anyone come to a Charlotte, NC based AMV Convention?

This forum is for the announcement and discussion of anime conventions, and for the exchanging of rides to, and rooms at, conventions.

Ooh, viscious :D

I'm not sure if I can find enough for a three day outing, but possibly a two day.

See, it really depends on the direction this convention wants to go. I had started it thinking it was going to solely be an AMV contest/convention and that be about it, but it sounds as if that may not be enough to get the people here.

I will check on prices and all for something larger if that is the way people want to go, but I will not be able to do it alone if it becomes a full-fledged anime convention.

I 110% appriciate all the comments and support you guys are giving me here, anything you have at all for me is awesome. I will look into possible sponsors/vendors.

Also, of course there will be prizes for the AMV contest! I'm not going to let the winners go away empty handed. I was thinking trophies and/or gift certificates, what do people like to win?

Well as I was typing I just assumed you'd have just the one room so I was thinking of a schedule of events and not everything being people watching AMVs in a dark room. Obvious the more rooms you have the more events you can have.

As for the distance thing I would say keep it to one day and just don't expect people to fly in. Many an anime convention has come from similar starts. It is easier to plan one day of events and have a smaller number of people the first go. If it works out you have a better understanding of what to do next year and you have some solid attendance numbers to show potential sponsors. If it doesn't work out it is only the one day.

Keep in mind, also, UNCC has a fairly large anime club called UNC Jams, they may be willing to help, as well as some of the Heroes Con people. Ya never know.

If I am going down to Charlotte for an AMV con, my suite had better be in Nightowl's pants.

@ Nightowl: I fully planned on hitting Heroes up after I hear back from the convention center :D They're pretty cool, they may be willing to sponsor something. I'll cehck with UNC Jams, I know here at NCState we have a group called Jams as well. Maybe they're related?

@ Kusoyaro: That I can't promise :D

Just a quick question, would having the convention take place at a hotel conference room downtown be alright as well? I know some take place in these locations, I'm just looking into different options.
