Clubs

We are offering a special discount to all anime, geek, fandom, and cosplay clubs. Sign up your club with us and you can register all your members for Anime USA at the special club discount rate of $45 for a Regular membership (approx. 35% discount) and $63 for a Silver membership (approx. 30% discount). This rate would be valid for any member of your group that you sign up.  Club rates are available through Monday, August 23rd, 2023.

To receive these discount, your club representative will need to create an account on our registration website  and then email that user id to cluboutreach@animeusa.org. We will grant that account the ability to register your members at the discounted rate. Your club representative will have to register each club member using that account; they cannot register using their own accounts and get this discounted rate.  You will also need to provide some documentation that you are a functioning club, such as a copy of a recent newsletter or a link to your club website or Facebook page.

As an additional bonus, if five or more of your club members sign-up we will complimentary upgrade one of them to a Silver Membership (while they are available).

We can also post a link on our website back to your group to help advertise and promote your group.
