Youmacon 2026, the Youmacon, returns to Detroit, United States from 29 October 2026 to 1 November 2026, bringing the exhibition community together. Bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, buyers and industry decision-makers, it has become an important meeting point for the sector. As an annual event, it gives the community a regular moment to come together. The action unfolds at Huntington Place, easy to reach and built for events like this.

When the host city is Detroit, half the appeal is already in place — a well-connected, welcoming base with plenty to offer once the day is done. Whether you fly in or come by rail, Detroit is well served and easy to move around. Accommodation ranges from business hotels near the venue to characterful stays in the centre, suiting every budget.

This edition puts the spotlight on Pop Culture, Anime, Cosplay, Comics and Entertainment, Media & Culture, with exhibitors presenting their latest collections, products and innovations across these areas. Beyond the stands, the event creates natural opportunities to connect with buyers, partners and suppliers from across the sector. Curated introductions and open networking areas take the awkwardness out of meeting new contacts.

Whether you come to source, to sell or to connect, the return on your time is hard to beat. Youmacon 2026 remains a key fixture for producers, resellers and category buyers, and an edition worth planning for.

Visitors are encouraged to check the official event website for the latest dates, opening hours and registration details before travelling.
