A Look Back at Ani-Jam's History

The very first Ani-Jam event was in 2003. It lasted for six hours and welcomed over 500 people. In 2012, the convention moved to a bigger place, the Fresno Convention Center. Ani-Jam celebrated its 10th birthday in 2013, which was a big milestone! For its last event in 2014, there was a special "day zero" party on Friday. People who signed up early could go to a formal ball before the main convention started.
