MomoCon, the largest celebration of gaming and anime in the Southeast United States, has again broken its attendance records, welcoming 67,277 fans to the Georgia World Congress Center during May 21-24. MomoCon organizers will aim to set new records when the event returns to Atlanta from Thursday, May 27, to Saturday, May 30, 2027.
This year’s MomoCon included the North American debut of Wonder Festival, Japan’s most influential showcase of figure and model craftsmanship. More than 40 studio professionals, hobbyists, and figure designers set up shop in a dedicated area of MomoCon’s exhibit hall space, giving American fans a one-of-a-kind chance to experience Japan’s figure and collectible culture firsthand.
MomoCon 2026 also welcomed legendary Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada, who drew fans to a dedicated panel and signing. Harada-san has recently announced the foundation of VS Studio, which he will lead as director under long-time fighting game publisher SNK Corporation.
Members of the hit webseries Critical Role were featured guests at this year’s MomoCon, including co-founders Matthew Mercer, Ashley Johnson, Taliesen Jaffe, Travis Willingham, and Liam O’Brien, drawing hundreds of attendees to their exclusive panel and autograph sessions.
MomoCon 2026 raised a total of $10,000 for its charity partner Silence the Shame, a [501(c)(3)] non-profit organization dedicated to revolutionizing mental health in high stress communities.
“We spend all year organizing MomoCon to see the impact we have on people’s lives, be it smiles on 67,000 plus faces or raising money for worthy causes,” says Chris Stuckey, co-founder, MomoCon. “This year’s event was our most impactful yet, and we look forward to making an even more profound positive change in 2027!”
