OMGcon 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 OMGcon. TAPS was co-founded by Daniel Dodd (Con Chairman) and Richard Griffith.
OMGcon 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.
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 OMGcon a 24 hour convention?
The convention center is the number one reason OMGcon isn’t a 24 hour con. The Julian Carroll Convention Center does not allow 24 hour conventions.
I heard that the Executive Inn is closing! What about OMGcon!?
The Julian Carroll Convention Center and Expo Center is the yellow square, the Executive Inn is the red rectangle. The Convention Center is where our event is taking place. The Executive Inn is currently being dismantled and destroyed, and has nothing to do with our event whatsoever.
