Starting in 2002, AVCon (Anime and Video Games Convention) began as a joint convention supported by volunteers from the University of South Australia’s Adelaide Japanese Animation Society (AJAS) and the Adelaide University Video Gamers Association (AUVGA). After four successful annual conventions, Team AVCon was established as an independent entity to run and sustain the annual convention.
Team AVCon is an incorporated, non-profit organisation whose aim is to keep AVCon as a fun, open and accessible event.
The membership of this organisation consists of a group of volunteers who in the past have shown their dedication to making AVCon a success.
The members of Team AVCon Inc. are truly interested in anime and video games; if they weren't organising the convention, they would be attendees! This interest gives them the passion to make AVCon the best it can be, and also ensures that AVCon remains a convention for the fans.
Team AVCon has a three tier organisational structure:
The Team AVCon Elect is a four member team elected at the Annual General Meeting by the membership of the organisation. The Elect appoints the Committee and guides the overall direction of the organisation and convention.
The Team AVCon Committee is responsible for the running of the convention. The structure of the Committee is determined by the Elect each year. Each role on the Committee is responsible for a particular facet of the convention.
Application for Team AVCon membership is open to any member of the general public who has demonstrated their dedication to the success of AVCon. Success applicants will require sponsorship of an existing member of the Team AVCon Elect, Committee or a sub-committee.
Membership Application forms and full application criteria can be found in the Rules of Association.
