Okamicon update for 2026
We are sad to announce Okamicon will not take place this year. Due to difficulties securing a venue and rising costs, we feel we won’t reach the standard we would want to deliver to our attendees.
Thank you everyone for all of your support. We will be continuing to work hard towards Okamicon 2027!🌸
We're back! Kon and Ami are here to let you all know that Amikon 2026 will be running on the 16th and 17th of May, and will be held in The U on DCU's Glasnevin Campus!
We cant wait to see you all again this year, for what is sure to be the best Amikon yet! -Ami, Kon, and the Amikon Committee 💜
Check out @dublinmaker.bsky.social for info on their Maker Secret Santa! ⬇️
Sign up before 10th November to take part 🎨🎅
