Anime NYC is happy to welcome professionals across the anime, manga, and Japanese pop culture industries; professionals from the American licensing, publishing, streaming, media, marketing, and merchandising worlds; and librarians, academics, and educators, and we offer a Professional Badge to all approved applicants from these categories.

An Anime NYC Professional Badge is intended to provide affordable access to industry professionals who would be attending Anime NYC for professional business purposes. Whether your interests are networking, accessing our Professional Programming Track, or brushing up on the latest trends in the anime world, a Professional badge is designed for those with industry-focused careers as a way to help them connect with the anime industry!

Should you be attending Anime NYC with the goal of participating in fan-focused activities, such as Autographing, Photo Ops, and more, we would recommend you purchase a Fan badge type such as a 3-Day or a Single Day (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) badge.

You must register online. There is NO Professional registration onsite. Please use your professional email address when applying.
