This year, we will be at the Gaylord of the Rockies, conveniently located close to DIA. Many of our attendees save up their money all year waiting for Nan Desu Kan, and the spending index of our attendees has been compared to larger conventions because we are the premier Anime festival in the Rocky Mountain region.
