Tekko 2026

Tekko is Pennsylvania's largest anime convention, attracting nearly 12,000 unique and diverse fans from across the country (and world!) to the region. We aren't just any old anime convention, though. We offer so much more by featuring  Japanese arcade games   ,  J-rock   ,  J-fashion   ,  Japanese pop culture   , and  education    in our programming. Additionally, we choose a unique theme every year to explore new content, such as wrestling, mecha, sports, and more. This makes us one of the most diverse anime and Japanese culture conventions in the country, and we aren't done expanding yet! 

Located in beautiful downtown Pittsburgh, the  David L. Lawrence Convention Center    offers Tekko attendees the best of both worlds, by showcasing spectacular views of the city on the roof or numerous balconies perfect for cosplay photo-shoots and gorgeous indoor spaces that are host to all scheduled programming such as panels, vendors/artist alley and main events.
