Wondering about restaurants and shops in the area? How about where the transit stations are? Or the major roads? Well have no fear, the ConBravo! Area Map is here!

This very same map will also be posted at the front of the convention near the Registration Table. If you’re in doubt and need to figure out where something is, please consult the map or ask one of our helpful volunteers.

See you at the con!

Hey ladies and gents, if you made it out to our sister convention Con-G this weekend, we hope you saw us there! These are the people who inspire us each year with their hard work and dedication to their con, and we wish them all the best.

Being the gracious, wonderful folks they are, Con-G let us showcase outside the main events room, where many of you stopped by to say hello and pick up flyers. Thanks to everyone who came by and showed their support for both ConBravo! and Con-G. Big shoutouts to the whole Con-G crew for providing all of us with an awesome weekend!

Back from DTAC ’09

Sunday was December Toronto Anime Convention 2009, a one-day event hosted at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre by HobbyStar. A ton of Toronto locals came out for the event, to shop, to socialise, and to make merry. ConBravo! sent delegates out to the floor to spread the word about our con and Con-G, and to say hello. Hopefully you saw us!

We here at ConBravo! want to thank the Con-G showrunners, The Savage Bandito, and everyone else who helped spread the word for both conventions.

Directions Available

For our attendees already making plans, we’ve posted some directions to where the convention is being held! We’re trying to cover just about every route imaginable, from highway and local traffic, to public transit from Mississauga and via the GO Train.

We’ll be adding other routes as we figure them out. Burlington, Brampton, and Hamilton public transit routes will become available shortly!

Here’s how to reach us!

Get ready for us, Québec

Otakuthon is going on July 31st through to August 2nd, and ConBravo! staff is attending! From Oakville, Missisauga and Toronto we’re hauling ourselves all the way to Montreal. We’re really excited to be going, especially since we’re going to have our first advertising table! So drop on in and say hi, we would love to chat. You won’t miss us, we’ll be the big orange table. We’ll also have our mailing list opened up at that time for anybody to sign up to receive updates. (For those of you who don’t check the website!) That’s getting prepared as we speak, as well as our preparation for volunteers. Our recruitment starts at Otaktuhon! More information about volunteers is coming real soon, stay tuned.

As well, our Queen of the Alley, Heather will be at her own artist’s alley table. She does amazing pixel paintings of video game characters. She’ll have some information about the ConBravo! Artist’s Alley.

And last but not least, some members from CrewBravo will be doing the opening skit in the Masquerade on Saturday night! (Under the name DRM studios.) You can see what kind of crazy people will be running a convention next year.

All of CrewBravo is amazed by the work the Otakuthon staff has put in in previous years. We always look forward to going to Québec, and the few members who have gone to Otakuthon before have said nothing but good things. See you then!
