Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2013 7:43 pm
ACP Events are special events that ACParadise.com holds with its industry partners (Such as FUNimation and Aniplex) at anime and comic themed conventions across the United States and Canada.
Typically these events focus on a single anime or video game title and involve cosplayer participation in order to help promote/sell/advertise that title.
There can be multiple themed events at a convention, especially if it is a larger one like Anime Expo or Otakon.
Therefore, ACParadise.com cosplayer members who are planning to attend a convention where an event is held may be the lucky chance to participate in these events.
