-The world of anime and manga
Thousands of cosplayers brought their favourite characters to life at AniNite 2023. Besides giving fans the chance to meet like-minded individuals, the convention offered a packed schedule featuring creative workshops and Japanese-language sessions, dance and short story competitions, and film screenings. Japanese snacks and a tea house delivered an authentic taste of the land of the rising sun.

-A well-thought-out spatial concept
The numerous stands transformed the two exhibition halls into a colourful marketplace with costumes, makeup supplies, arts and crafts materials, homemade merchandise and even a food court complete with food trucks. The rooms and halls on Level -2 were used to stage shows, lectures and game areas, rounding out an awesome AniNite spectacle hosted by the Austria Center Vienna.
