About Rai Con

Scotland’s Anime Convention!

Rai Con is an anime & manga convention taking place in Glasgow (Scotland), twice a year, Spring and Winter. Rai Con is brought to you by our team at ACME Comic Con, in partnership with a few exceptional friends and colleagues within the Glasgow anime and convention community. 

With a dwindling number of purely anime and manga related events taking place within Scotland, we felt it was time to try and reinvigorate the Scottish anime scene and breathe new life into the community by bringing you a new and exciting convention; celebrating our passion for anime and manga, right in the heart of Glasgow and Scotland.

Rai Con Spring (our first event) on 12th March 2016 had an attendance of over 1500 people. Since then, we have continued to run two shows a year, increasing attendance numbers each time (Rai Con Spring 2019 welcomed over 2600 fans!)

This one-day anime extravaganza will pack as much anime and manga related fun into one event as humanly possible; with a wide variety of events including panels, tournaments, competitions, workshops, screenings and more! … and culminating in our awesome, ‘not-to-be-missed’ Rai Con After Party!
