About / FAQ

What is OMG!con?
OMG!con is an annual event that brings together anime and video games for a weekend of fun and excitement. There are special guests (such as voice actors and artists), dealers (for getting those hard-to-get merchandise), events (like cosplay and video game tournaments.)

What is TAPS?
TAPS stands for Tri-State Anime Promotional Society. This is the organization that hosts OMG!con. TAPS was co-founded by Daniel Dodd (Con Chairman) and Richard Griffith (Vice Con Chair).

OMG!con is a non-profit convention, who pays for it?
You do. Funding for OMG!con comes from attendees along with sponsors and dealers. Leftover money is put back into the con funds for the next year.

Who is OMG! Guy?
OMG! Guy is the official OMG!con mascot. He’s crazy and full of energy! Keep an eye out for him at the convention, he’s sure to make an appearance every so often.

Does OMG stand for Oh My God?
Not really. In the online world, OMG has become the common phrase used to describe the crazy, bizarre, and downright awesome. Crazy, bizarre, and awesome…that’s what OMG!con is all about.

Do I have to dress up?
No. Dressing up is only part of the convention and isn’t necessary. Dress comfortably as this will be taking place in the hot and humid area of western Kentucky.

Are there ATMs around?
Yes. There is an ATM at the hotel registration area. We advise you to come prepared, in the event that there is a problem with the ATM machine.

When will I receive my badge/ticket?
Badges are given out at the convention itself. We will not mail out pre-registration badges or tickets.

Why isn’t OMG!con a 24 hour convention?
Hotel restraints are the number one reason OMG!con isn’t a 24 our con. The Executive Inn does not allow 24 hour conventions.
