The convention center portion of the renovation will not be finished until January 2026. Because of this, the following changes will affect Ichibancon 2026: Our 2026 dates will be February 13-15th. Part of the hotel will also be under renovation, resulting in fewer hotel rooms available for booking. If you wish to stay at the Embassy Suites, we encourage you to book early!
