MechaCon was an annual three-day anime convention held during the summer at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was the oldest active anime convention in Louisiana.

Programming

The convention typically offered an artist's alley, cosplay competition, dealer's room, gaming, and maid/host show.{{cite news|last1=Cannon|first1=Adam|title=An Inside Look at the World of Mechacon|url=https://thepaperwolf.com/2013/09/12/an-inside-look-at-the-world-of-mechacon/|accessdate=5 September 2016|work=The Paper Wolf|date=September 12, 2013}}

History

MechaCon's inaugural weekend in 2005 is unique because Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the coast of Louisiana hours after MechaCon closed its doors.{{citation | url = https://animecons.com/news/post/179/katrinas-effects-on-the-anime-community | title = Katrina's effects on the anime community | publisher = AnimeCons.com | date = 2005-09-05 | accessdate = 2018-07-30}} The dealers room closed early and all but one guest made their flight. In 2006, as a special part of MechaCon's 2006 programming, Harmony Gold USA provided fans of the Robotech franchise with the first-ever public screening of the film Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles. 100% of the funds raised from the screening was donated to The Salvation Army’s ongoing Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita recovery efforts.{{citation | url = http://www.robotech.com/news/viewarticle.php?id=275 | title = Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles Charity Screening at MechaCon!!! | publisher = Harmony Gold USA | date = 2006-06-02 | accessdate = 2008-08-19 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20150401104657/http://www.robotech.com/news/viewarticle.php?id=275 | archivedate = April 1, 2015}}
