#CEO2026 has far surpassed last year's Early Bird Reg numbers already and there's still a few days left before badge prices increase. Either everyone's been learning it's best to sign up early and save money or the final numbers for this year are going to be our biggest ever.

CEOtaku, an Update: I wanted to completely be transparent about the future of CEOtaku and the challenge it has been to bring back. At this time I do not have anything lined up for 2026. Last year I was very close to having it take place but date conflicts with other events came in to play. For this year, it's still a challenge to find the right time as well as a suitable venue that can even come close to what the Wyndham Provided. In a dream world, I do want to bring it to where CEO prime currently exists at a Rosen Property but finding the right dates and taking a risk for another standalone event would not be as easy as it was when we first started CEOtaku. Why am I saying this now? I know a few members of the community like to hold out from attending CEO, but honestly, this year has more Anime featured titles than ever and we have the space to accommodate everyone under one event. If you were holding out for a CEOtaku this year, I suggest making it out to CEO 2026 on August 14-16 if you have the means. It's shaping up to be an incredible event based on early numbers and we're still 6 months away. I promise, CEOtaku will always be on my mind to bring back one day when the timing is right. I'm not done with it yet. Until then support your local communities. I appreciate everyone's support for everything and when I can bring it back, it will be special. Also, not bringing back CEOtaku is not a sign of the times as I truly believe the FGC is in a great spot. No amount of doom & gloom on social media can take away the real world experiences you get from being around other FGC members at events. Thanks for reading.
