2018
Convention Photoshoots
We encourage attendees to submit their photoshoots and cosplay meet-ups using the form at the end of this web page.
Photoshoots are listed for attendee convenience, and are not part of official programming or run by Kumoricon. The schedule below will also be included in the Guidebook app. Due to the many changes that occur after print time, the photoshoot schedule is not included in our print materials.
This schedule is updated as we review submissions of new events and submissions of changes.
Renovation update: Due to ongoing renovation at the convention center, we have recently learned that some photoshoot/meetup locations are no longer available. We apologize for the inconvenience and late notice. Photoshoots/meetups scheduled in these locations have been marked with "Location unavailable due to renovation", and the organizers will need to update their photoshoots/meetups. We have added several new locations to the menu to choose from.
