This document discusses strategies for expanding the Anime Expo convention to attract broader audiences and increase sponsorship opportunities. It proposes incorporating other Asian pop culture genres, martial arts performances, live action films, gaming and fashion to appeal to mature audiences and diversify the experience. Partnering with brands like Cartoon Network, Subway and video game companies could expand the demographic reach and support. Collaborations with websites like Gaia Online and eBay could provide marketing benefits through shared advertising, auctions and virtual promotions. The goal is to fight attrition, attract more attendees and generate greater sponsorship revenue through a more diverse convention program and external partnerships.
