Anime Weekend Atlanta (AWA) is a convention geared towards Japanese Animation and Comics held in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Since the first convention in 1995, AWA has become one of the most popular Japanese Animation conventions in the United States.
AWA has promoted the anime and manga medium by having guests who have worked in the industry from the 1960's to present, appearances by some of the major companies who produce anime and manga in the United States, and promoting various events throughout the convention. They not only showcase those shows that appear on television, but also those that appear on DVD and a few that have never before appeared in the United States.
Anime Weekend Atlanta 10 is scheduled from 12:00 PM Friday, September 24, 2004 to 5:00PM Sunday, September 26, 2004 at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel, located on Cobb Parkway (US 41) and Interstate 285, Northwest of downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
