This is the attendee’s rare chance to meet up close with the Guests of Honor. You’ll be able to ask Guests questions in a more personal environment while enjoying a buffet style meal being provided by the hotel. Not only can you ask your favorite Guest of Honor questions about his/her work, but possibly get an autograph from them “after” everyone has eaten. This is a must not miss event that you can get in only by purchasing a special invitation! Reservations are extremely limited, and available through the Guest Reception page.

It is time once again for the ever-popular Sakura-Con Guest Reception! Most Guests of Honor attend the Guest Reception, but there are always a few exceptions. Most often, this is due to unavoidable scheduling conflicts. Please see the Guest Reception Page for full details: Guest Reception Reservations
