The staff of the Otakon convention confirmed on Friday that they will hold the in-person Otakon 2021 event as scheduled from August 6-8 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C. The staff said that Otakon will be the “first major convention event to be held as D.C. reopens.”
The staff added on Twitter that the city of Washington D.C. will issue additional guidance about the event in mid-June.
Otakon held the Otakon Online virtual event on August 1.
Last year’s canceled Otakon was originally scheduled for July 31 to August 2 at the same convention center.
