About Anime Milwaukee
Anime Milwaukee (AMKE) is a three-day, fan-run nonprofit convention held in downtown Milwaukee since 2007. It uses the Baird Center and the Hilton Milwaukee City Center, and the 2027 edition is March 5–7.
Weekend badges cost $85 through October 31, 2026, then $95 until the eve of the show and $100 during the event. Registration is in Grand Ballroom A&B in the Baird Center's South Building.
The cosplay program centers on the Masquerade, judged by invited cosplayers. A Safety Team handles crowd control, line management and prop checks, and attendees who need accessibility help for busy events such as the Masquerade are asked to contact the convention in advance.
