Meet & Greet – meet stars, take photos, collect memories
A Meet & Greet is the absolute highlight for many fans at conventions and events: you meet your favorite guests in person, can chat briefly, get an autograph, and often also take a photo together. On Nekodanshi, you’ll find all current events with Meet & Greet in this category – perfect if you’re looking specifically for conventions where you can experience creators, voice actors, actors, artists, or cosplayers live.
What to expect at a Meet & Greet
Depending on the convention, a Meet & Greet can be set up very differently: sometimes as a fixed signing session, sometimes as a photo opportunity with time slots, or as a small, personal moment at the booth. What they all have in common is closeness to the community, genuine interaction, and a keepsake you take home with you.
- Autograph sessions: Signings on prints, posters, manga, figures, or items you bring yourself
- Photo op: professional photo or selfie (depending on the event rules)
- Short talk: a few words, a compliment about the cosplay, a quick thank-you
- Exclusive guests: special guests who are on site only at certain times
- Merch & prints: the chance to have official or fan merchandise signed directly

How to get the most out of your Meet & Greet
Practical tips for a smooth experience
- Check time slots: Many Meet & Greets are limited in time or tied to tickets/slots.
- Preparation matters: Bring an item to sign, a suitable pen (if allowed), and have a short question or message ready.
- Respect the rules: Some guests allow only certain photos (selfie vs. pro photo) or no video recordings at all.
- Plan for waiting time: Especially with big names, queues can be long – water and a snack help.
- Plan with cosplay in mind: If you’re going in cosplay: secure storage for prints/posters and, if needed, gloves for signings.
