PuchiCon

PuchiCon 🧜‍♀️Smol 501(c)(3) Con with a big💜
Focus: mental health, inclusivity, panels, vendors and your happiness foremost. EST: 2019
NY/NJ College not your thing? Same.

Several yrs running cons & otaku, neurodivergent & of all orientations, ages & creed like you! Established in 2019 with up to 1.5k attendees, Puchicon is an inclusive, community-driven anime and gaming convention I founded to celebrate pop culture, creativity, and fandom. Our mission is to create a vibrant, welcoming space where fans of all ages can connect, discover new artists and creators, and

geek out over their favorite games, anime, and cosplay. We’re especially passionate about uplifting underrepresented voices in the industry and fostering an environment where everyone feels like they belong. Think of Puchicon as a giant hug for the fandom community—equal parts chaos, creativity, and camaraderie! 🎮✨


​🌟 Meet Puchicon: Where Chaos, Cosplay & Community Collide 🌟

Hey fam! Let’s cut the fluff—Puchicon isn’t your average con. It’s a ✨vibe✨, built by and for the neurospicy, the marginalized, the anime-obsessed, and everyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t “fit” at other cons.

​

👑 Your Queen Bee: Jen (aka The ADHD Latina Otaku Mom)

Credentials: Cosplayer since ‘04 🪡 | Anime stan since Toonami ruled 📺 | Gamer since Atari 64 was cool 🎮

Resume: 15+ years slaying marketing/events for giants like Samsung and LG 💼… but she’d rather talk about her failed 2006 Lelouch cosplay. Vibes: Imagine your hyperfixating Tía who also organizes cons. That’s Jen.

​

🚀 Why Puchicon Exists
We’re here to:
✅ Dismantle gatekeeping in anime/gaming (no “fake geek” nonsense here).
✅ Donate a % of ALL sales to , , & 💸 (because activism isn’t optional).
✅ Replace con anxiety with safe spaces—think panels on mental health and how to survive a zombie apocalypse in cosplay.

​

🔥 Our Secret Sauce

Panels That Slap: From “ADHD & Anime Hyperfixations” to “How to Turn Your Side Hustle Into $$$” 💡. No “Pay-to-Play” BS: Artist alley fees? We keep ’em low so small creators THRIVE. Con Crutches Welcome: Chill zones, sensory-friendly hours, and free mom hugs (Jen’s specialty).

💥 Join the Puchi Fam If You…

🎭 Cosplay like it’s therapy.

🎮 Still argue about PS2 vs. Xbox.

🌈 Believe cons should be radically inclusive (all bodies, genders, & bank accounts welcome).

​

📅 TL;DR: TL;DR: We’re a con built by burnt-out millennials, Gen X rebels, Gen Z dreamers, and Gen Alpha mini-bosses who said “fck capitalism, let’s heal together.” Come for the voice actors, stay for the revolution (and free snacks).

​

🎟️ Let’s Geek Out & Grow Together! Whether it’s your first con or your 50th, we’ll make sure you leave with new friends, less anxiety, and maybe a questionable merch haul.

​

👉 P.S. We’ll teach you how to monetize your Dragon Ball Z obsession instead.

A Valentine’s Ode to Puchicon Fans 💌

Roses are red, controllers in hand—
Puchicon fam, you’re the heart of this land!
Through pixels and passion, through highs and through strife,
Your light keeps us going—it brightens our life.

Times may feel heavy, the road might seem steep,
But together, we’ll climb—no challenge too deep.
You’re artists, dreamers, rebels, and stars,
Creating worlds brighter than Saturn or Mars.

Your talent’s a wildfire, your courage a song,
In this anime journey, you truly belong.
No filter, no mask—just you, raw and true,
The future’s yours—we believe in YOU.

From cosplay magic to gaming quests bold,
Your stories are legends, yet to be told.
When storms cloud the path, just remember this truth:
You’re strong, you’re enough—and that’s more than enough.

So, here’s to tomorrow, where legends take flight,
With Puchicon love, we’ll conquer the night.
You’re amazing as you are—never doubt, never sway.
Happy V-Day, fam—let’s slay every day! 💖🎮





To our fierce, fabulous fans: You’re the reason we sparkle. Keep shining Puchicon Fort Lee!. 🚀

Puchi Con

Puchi Con aka Petite Con was created by a necessity of making cons fun and safe again! Have you ever gone to a con and the most that you do is go to the vendor aisle and that is when the vendors are outstanding?!

We wanted to make an amazing con that is by the same cosplayers, gamers, and otakus that go to cons, that know what is lacking. We want it to be a safe and happy environment for all ages and for it to have activities for all ages!

We wanted it to have panel and screenings, that you actually want to see, performances you actually want to experience and most of all the same intimacy that we bring to our events that go along with it and the friendships it will create! Also, an easy to get into panels and out of them! Not to mention to yummy food and magical experience Moe Mahou Maid Cafe will bring! So please join in our first year and help make it sugoi with your presence!
