What is it?

Yaoithon, a subdivision of Otakuthon, will be focusing on the yaoi community attending the convention. Due to the increasing popularity of yaoi with each and every year, we have created this new division to better meet the needs of this community. Encompassing any and all yaoi, Yaoithon will be covering shounen-ai and slash-related phenomena as well as related fandom and communities.

Events and activities

Yaoithon will have its own events so as to include as much of the yaoi community as possible. Panels, screenings and workshops will be slotted into Yaoithon programming. Please note that some activities and screenings will be reserved for a mature audience (either 16+ or 18+). Photo ID will be required to access these events.
