 Who We Are

Anime Weekend Atlanta (AWA) is an annual four-day anime convention held during December at the Georgia World Congress Center, Building C in Atlanta, Georgia.

We offer fun experiences such as the Anime Music Video contest, Artists’ Alley, concerts, costume contest, dances, Dealer’s Room, fashion show, formal ball, game shows, karaoke, Maid Cage, panels, RPG Gaming, tabletop gaming, Video Gaming, and Workshops.

Getting Here

AWA is being hosted at the Georgia World Congress Center Building C this year. We recommend using public transportation such as MARTA or ridesharing to avoid traffic congestion and parking issues.


Hotels

Anime Weekend Atlanta is a 24 hour convention, starting Thursday and continuing through Sunday evening. To get the maximum fun out of the convention, avoid having to lug around 10lbs of swag you bought in the dealer’s room, and accommodate your 3 cosplay changes a day, you’re probably going to want to stay close by. To help you out with that, AWA has made agreements with local hotels to offer you the lowest rates available for the weekend AND include special concessions like free in-room wifi.
