The staff of Otakon announced on Monday that this year’s event is cancelled due to the planned use of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. as a field hospital in response to the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) situation.
This year’s Otakon was scheduled for July 31 to August 2 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
All registrations for the 2020 event will automatically transfer to next year’s event, which is scheduled for August 6 to 8 at the same location.
The event would have hosted game music composers Harumi Fujita, Takahiro Izutani, and Manami Matsumae.
