EXHIBIT
HALL
The Anime Expo exhibit
hall is another very popular venue at Anime Expo. Merchants from both
Japan and the United States gather at the Anime Expo exhibit hall to make
available the largest array of anime-related merchandise and services.
At Anime Expo, members are free to browse and preview anime videos before
buying. Since many of the US anime companies come to Anime Expo exclusively
to promote their new titles, members can buy the latest titles even before
they are available in the retail market. The Anime Expo exhibit hall is
also the place for members to buy anime merchandise from Japanese importers
who offer more variety in anime-related merchandise than what is available
at their local merchants.
As a indicator of
the growth of Anime Expo, the Exhibit Hall has grown in size from a humble
5000 square feet in 1991 to over 36,000 square feet in 1999.
