As Florida’s first “Anime” Fighting Game Convention and the largest dedicated anime fighting game tournament in the world, CEOtaku promises the best competitors, artists, vendors, and fans a place to celebrate their love of fighting games and the culture around them. Due to the closure of our previous venue, the Wyndham Orlando, CEOtaku is teaming up with Holiday Matsuri this year. All CEOtaku attendees will need to register for a Holiday Matsuri Badge which includes access to the CEOtaku Game Room all weekend! Players will then need to register for tournaments through start.gg/ceotaku

Holiday Matsuri is the festively themed Anime, Gaming, and Cosplay convention with holiday cheer in Orlando, Florida! Every December, thousands of attendees come together during the holidays to celebrate their favorite interests, all with a holiday twist.
