Professional Registration

New Professional Registrations will be accepted online through May 17, 2024 11:59pm.
Requests after this date will need to be made in person at the convention.

All requests for a Press/Industry credential must go through this site.

For more information on our Professional Registration requirements, please see our FAQ.

All fields with a * are required.

Account Information
  1. Your username is only for this Professional Registration system. It is not related to any other account in any other FanimeCon system.
    Your username should only contain letters and numbers.

  2. Your password must be a minimum of 8 characters.
    Please do not share this account password with anyone outside of your group.

About You
  1. This must be your name as it appears on your ID.

  2. This is your name as used on your business card, byline, or credits.

  3. This is your official title within your company.

  4. Please choose the category that best fits your role. Industry attendees should choose from the Industry categories; Press attendees should choose from the Press categories.

About Your Company
  1. Please include these details for your company. If your company doesn’t have an official address, please include yours. While at FanimeCon, you and each representative will be representing your company and will be held liable for your actions.

  2. If you are from outside of the US, choose "Not from the US" for the state.

Your Contact and Background Info
  1. Please use your company e-mail address.

  2. If you prefer to self-describe your gender (or if it is otherwise not represented here), please let us know in the notes in Step 2C.


  3. Everyone applying through Professional Registration must supply some form of verification before the convention and (in some cases) verification during badge pick up.

    • For Press, all of these must be included in your submission:
      • one or more links to an article published by you written on or after January 1, 2024
      • if working as a freelance journalist, a “letter of assignment” must be emailed to us from your editor-in-chief with verifiable information using an appropriate company domain
      • if working as a photographer/videographer, you must be included on the application of the journalist that you are accompanying

    • For Industry, all of these must be included in your submission:
      • links to a non-publicly editable website to your works
      • all works must be released and widely available on major platform
      • public emails are strongly discouraged - please use your professional email address

    Notes:
    • as a last resort, we do accept a W2/1099/Paystub from your company but please censor all confidential information (this is absolutely not necessary, in the event that it’s more convenient to provide this over the other requirements.)
    • please do not send us scans of your business cards
    • in the event that something doesn’t make sense or you need help, please email us ASAP so we can help resolve issues that you may have with the application process (include your account number if you are at step 2 or later)
    • for a full run-down on the exact things acceptable as verification (and the formats), please see the Professional Registration FAQ.

  4. Each person must have credentials.

Recent Works
  1. For Industry Attendees, please list specific anime/manga projects you have been working on within the last year (with links)
    For Press Attendees, please list recent articles, reports, or editorials with your name in the credits (with links)
    For Press Attendees that attended FanimeCon in the previous two years as Press, please also include links to your articles covering FanimeCon (along with the requirement above)
