San Japan 5: August 10th-12th, 2012 @ HBG Convention Center

[Proz]

It is official. Contracts are signed.

The dealer+artist alley room alone is bigger than the entire downstairs of the Auditorium. The same applies to the room that will be designated as Main Events.

All the details like theme, prices, etc., will be announced after SJ 4TW.

Excuse me if I read wrong but will this be like San Japan 2.X when we had to go from main convention place to the hotel back and forth?
Or is the hotel just for that - hotel?
Cause I remember at SJ2 there were things hosted at the hotel as well, and it got kind of annoying having to go back and forth the hotel and main area.

It is going to be two locations like the SJ2.x but the Convention Center is literally next door to the hotel and not just a block walk like during the first two years.

You. Can't. Miss. It.

There is still going to be a walk as Main Events is going to be on the 4th floor of the hotel while the dealers room & artist alley will be in the Convention Center.

This is a Google Map view in-between the Hotel & Convention Center. (Ignore the construction, it is already completed.) This will give you a good view of what the new location will be like.

Ahh, yay! It's not going to be so far now, hehe. That's awesome! I wouldn't miss SJ for the world! This is going to be my 4th time going. ♥

[DezzyDiamond]

so whats going to be in each seperate location?

[Proz]

For sure:

Hyatt - Main Events, Panels, Video Rooms
Convention Center - Dealers, Artists, Registration

Where everything will be is a big huge question mark until we find out if we are able to pick-up a very large room or not that could basically fit a college basketball game but we won't know until the beginning of the year. Originally, we didn't have that room but we've been going back to see if we could acquire more space after the end of SJ4.

Maps & layouts will be posted later on next year.

[Puritysan]

HA. I see how it is. put all the things that make you spend money in one location. XDDDD
-staying faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away from the GRB Center-

[DezzyDiamond]

alrighty then =3 I can't wait to see it how it plays it

[DezzyDiamond]

Events/Panel times, is there a date when it'll be released or did I miss this information in another forum.
