Yes — Anime Market Sacramento is a fully contracted event at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center.

For those who require confirmation, we’re able to provide a copy of the venue booking invoice upon request.

Our operations follow standard venue contracting and payment procedures, and all communications are issued through our official email.

Anime Market Sacramento is organized by a team with a strong track record of producing successful artist alley focused conventions. While this may be our first appearance in Sacramento, we’ve operated large-scale markets in other regions — always with the same focus: clear systems, consistent communication, and exhibitor prioritization.

(And if you’ve heard good things about other chill, well-run anime markets recently — you might’ve already seen our work.)

If you received an email invitation and are unsure of its legitimacy, please check the sender’s email address. Our official communications will always come from our designated business email: animemarketsacramento@gmail.com.

If you have any doubts, feel free to contact us directly through our official website or support channels to verify the authenticity before sending payment.

Our ticket prices are set lower than the average anime convention to make the event more accessible and affordable for attendees. Full details on ticket pricing will be available upon launch through our official ticketing platform.

While large conventions draw massive crowds, some local attendees prefer a more relaxed, dealers' alley focused event where they can shop at their own pace without the overwhelming rush of a mega-con. Anime Market Sacramento provides that space, offering a dedicated market-style experience within a full-scale convention setting.

We invest heavily in promotion to ensure both visibility and turnout.

Our team runs paid targeted ads by city, using data from past anime events to reach local fans who are most likely to attend and buy.

Every exhibitor who secures a booth is automatically promoted through our social media channels — even if you don’t submit promo images. Our in-house design team creates a custom graphic for your booth using content from your public social media accounts or your application, and we share it across our platforms. We also tag your social media handle in your post, so fans are able to find your account for preorders or follow you after discovering your booth at the con. You are able to opt out of this arrangement as well.

We also proactively follow and engage with fans in your city who attend similar events, so that community awareness is already growing well before the event begins.

The goal is simple: you focus on doing your thing — we handle the marketing.

Anime Market Sacramento is built around a single focus: supporting small businesses and independent artists.

Instead of splitting attention across multiple event formats, we’ve streamlined the experience to highlight exhibitor booths and give attendees more time and space to explore what creators have to offer.

The layout, timing, and operations are all optimized to make this an efficient and rewarding event for exhibitors and fans alike.

Anime Market Sacramento is designed for artists and vendors who want clarity, structure, and strong visibility.

Our layout is optimized to support browsing traffic, and our event scale allows for meaningful engagement with attendees — not just brief interactions in a high-noise environment.

We’ve applied operational experience from past artist alley focused events to ensure smooth communication, timely load-ins, and clear information at every stage. Whether you’re new to tabling or a veteran, our goal is to make your weekend efficient and worthwhile.

Expect a streamlined, exhibitor-first experience. Booth assignments, load-in, and logistics are all handled with structure and clarity. Every confirmed exhibitor receives a comprehensive info packet with event details, preparation tips, and hotel suggestions — designed to make your weekend easy, whether you're local or traveling in.
