About Us
Animazement is held in the Raleigh Convention Center (RCC) in Downtown Raleigh, NC.
There are lots of parking options in Downtown Raleigh, though few of these options are free. You can read up on it on our general info page.
If you want to come to Animazement, the first step is registration. Take advantage of special discounted pre-registration rates during our online pre-registration period, or purchase your badge at the door! Everything you need to know about pricing and how to register for Animazement, including an extensive Registration FAQ, is available at the link below.
The Registration FAQ answers common questions about how to buy a badge, where to pick it up, and how to apply for group discounts or financial assistance.
The main convention runs from Friday through Sunday. However, if you purchase a Full Weekend badge, it will also get you into Thursday Night Pre-con.
Pre-con begins at 6pm on Thursday night and goes through midnight. Find out more about what you can do at pre-con here.
A week or two before the convention, you can find our detailed schedule of events posted on our front page!

Some panels and events contain content inappropriate for children. To attend these panels, you must be wearing a wristband. To receive one, you must provide a photo ID that shows your name, date of birth, and a clear photo. We will accept a driver’s license, state issued ID card, passport, or military ID. We will NOT accept school ID cards or expired IDs. Please keep in mind, if your ID is so faded or damaged that we cannot read your date of birth or clearly see your photo, it is not considered a valid ID for our purposes.
Expired ID PLUS Birth Certificate or picture of, will be accepted.
We will NOT check IDs at the panel room door.
An adult cannot sign a wristband for a minor. We will not provide wristbands to anyone under 18 under any circumstance.
The wristband table is open daily in the main lobby from 9:00am until 11:00pm. Some 18+ events begin as late as 1:00am, so make sure to get your wristband before the table closes.
Some events, like our late night dance, do have a bag size restriction. Any event with a bag restriction will be indicated in your program guide.
