Autographs

FanimeCon has designated a special area for our attendees and Guests of Honor to create cherished memories while obtaining autographs. Be sure to stop by when planning your FanimeCon experience! The times and places where our Guests of Honor will sign autographs can be found below and in your Pocket Guide. Please keep social distancing and our other new policies in mind when attending autograph sessions. Remember, these people are our guests and should be treated with the utmost respect. Kindness and smiles go a long way! Have fun, and enjoy your time with this year’s Guests of Honor!

How it Works

Signing Up for a Session:

When signing up, you will be asked for your badge number, name, and email for confirmation purposes. These must match the information you used when registering for your badge. You may then select the sessions you wish to sign up for. The sign-up period for each session closes 90 minutes before it starts.

After Signing Up:

Once you submit your information, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions to follow. After you complete the instructions in the confirmation email, you will be entered into a drawing for a spot in line for each autograph session selected.

Each drawing will occur 60 minutes before the start of the session, at which point you will receive another email notifying you of your spot and when you should return to the Autographs area.

Checking In for your Session:

Upon returning to Autographs, you will proceed to have your badge checked to receive a number card of your spot in line. Autographs staff will use this to organize the line and will collect it from you when you reach the front of the line during the autograph session or if you leave the Autographs area for any reason.

Depending on various session factors and after all sign-ups have gone through the session, we may have time available to take walk-ins. If you were not able to sign up for a session, you are welcome to visit us and inquire about walk-in spots for a session. This is case-dependent and not at all guaranteed.
