Message from the Chief Executive Officer

Dear Membership and Attendees,

Welcome to the new Anime Expo® website.  It is fitting that we are launching a new website at a time when new leadership has taken the reigns and exciting changes are underway.  I am honored to represent the many passionate members and attendees who make Anime Expo® so special and one of a kind.  Your ongoing support and enthusiasm for Anime and Manga has created an organization that is popularly recognized.

My management team and I are working hard every day to strategize our future course – a course that is built on people who are team-oriented, professional, and fun-loving individuals.  The possibilities of growth become limitless with a strong team. We are reengineering how we market our brand and who we partner with in order to make Anime Expo® the one stop destination for Anime and Manga.  Our “Think Tank” team and several AX Managers are creatively working with key industry contacts to build next year’s Anime Expo® show program, one of which I believe will be second to none. Since we are a fan-based organization, I would love to solicit your feedback and hear directly from you as to what we can do to make next year’s event memorable.  Please email me at .

As we look ahead, there are great things waiting to unfold – a transformation that is yet to procure.  We have BIG dreams, HIGH hopes, and a Fan base inspiring us to revolutionize our past into the infinite opportunity that awaits us.

Best regards,

Michael Lattanzio
