As we are returning to our in-person event for AX 2022, we bring you a fresh reminder of panel procedures and guidelines. Please review when planning your attendance at Anime Expo.

When a room opens for entry we will allow attendees to enter in the following order:

  1. ADA Attendees
    • Please visit an Info Services booth to request an ADA sticker.
  2. Premier Fan Badge Holders and press with valid Anime Expo® Press Badges.
  3. All other valid Badges with access to Programming, Workshops, and Video Rooms.
PLEASE NOTE:
  • Ticketed Events require both Badge and Ticket to enter the event.
  • Oversize cosplay props: These must be placed against the wall; do not place them in the aisle or on adjacent seats.
  • Photo/Video Policies:
    • Panel/Workshop Rooms: Permissions depend on each individual guest and presenter. Photo/video policies will be announced at the beginning of events as each event has its own policy.
    • Video Rooms: No filming or photos allowed.
