Services

As we navigate through today's fast-paced and ever-evolving world, I have always felt a strong desire to stay ahead of the curve by offering innovative services that cater to a diverse range of interests and needs. My name is Ryan Kopf, a passionate entrepreneur and tech enthusiast. I have dedicated my life to creating a suite of services aimed at enhancing people's lives in various areas, from the anime community to language learning.

AnimeCon.org

I created some fun anime conventions almost by accident. What started as a fun hobby turned into an important passion project as I brought together some amazing nerds in celebrating anime, life, and individuality. Since our organization's inception in 2010 we have hosted conventions in dozens of cities and have settled on 7 incredible annual events across the Midwest.

What began as a personal interest in anime blossomed into AnimeCon.org, a venture that has brought together a dynamic community of enthusiasts since 2010. Hosting annual conventions in multiple cities, we've become a staple in the Midwest, celebrating the unique world of anime and the diverse people who love it.
