Otakon is proud to announce that the Mecha Kaikan will return for 2026! Thank you to everyone who attended last year and helped us to get this giant transforming ship off of the ground in epic fashion!
What is the Otakon Mecha Kaikan? Kaikan in Japanese translates to “hall”, so simply put, the Mecha Kaikan is the Otakon Mecha Hall. The Otakon Mecha Kaikan will be an immersive and interactive mecha experience exclusive to Otakon. The Mecha Kaikan will feature mecha related panels, video and audio content integrated with free-range and expert led mecha modeling.
Catch all your favorite mecha related panels, videos and workshops in one location. Have a kit to build? Bring it along and build it in our build section while watching the action up on stage. No kit? No worries! Otakon is proud to be partnering once again with Gundam Planet, who will have kits galore for you to choose from. Whether you’re a beginner, or a seasoned pro, they’ve got you covered.
The Otakon Mecha Kaikan has moved! This year, we will be in Rooms 151A&B.
Keep an eye on our socials and feeds and whatnot for more information about the Mecha Kaikan for Otakon 2026. On behalf of the Otakon Mecha Kaikan Staff, we can’t wait to see you there!
