As Aya Revolution is run by fans for fans we wouldn't be able to do it without tireless help from volunteers amongst the fandom.
So here comes the begging! If you wish to play a part in the convention and give something back to the convention, please use the sign-up form on the gopher sign-up page now.

Our official aya t-shirt is now available for order from the site. They're £10 each and look fantastic so grab one now as they'll only be on sale until mid-july to give us time to get them printed.
We've updated the dealers page with details on the great array of companies that will be selling their goods at the convention.
Finally for you cosplay types we've just created a new cosplay page. Right now it contains the rules and regulations for cosplay at Aya but there's much more to come over the next few weeks, including masquerade sign-up. So check back soon for more details.

Hi everyone, firstly, thank you for everyone's support once again, we're now over 50% confirmed for the convention.
Secondly, there's a slight mistake on accommodation from Warwick, the rooms should be charged at £41.25 + VAT (£47.44), that has been fixed for future bookings and anyone who has paid the higher rate will receive a credit voucher to the value of £2.56 per night on check-in - to be used during the event at any of Warwick's cash catering outlets (Arts Centre Cafe Bar, Bar Fusion).

Okay everyone, it's taken a while to get here but registration for Aya Revolution 09 is now open. Click on the registration link on the menu to begin the process. We've currently set the membership limit to 1250, and we have no idea how quickly we'll sell out so we can only advise to sign up early to avoid disappointment.
Once you've registered for the convention you'll also be able to book on-site accommodation. Accommodation is first come first served, and roughly the first 600 to book accommodation will get en-suite rooms at no additional cost. So again we'd advise to book sooner than later.
With registration all sorted we're now focusing on our guest and events line up to bring you the best line up a UK convention has ever seen. So keep checking the site and forums as we hope to reveal more of our line up in the coming months.
We look forward to seeing you all at the convention.

We're just finalising and testing our registration process at the moment. We expect to be open in the next week or two. Demand will undoubtedly be high for this year's biggest UK anime convention so we recommend you listen out for the announcement and book early to avoid disappointment.

It's been 3 years since AyaCon 5 ran for a highly successful weekend back in August 2005 and we're very pleased to tell you all that Aya is coming back. Our new website launches today including our community forums so please feel free to have a look around. Member and dealer registrations will open in a few weeks and over the coming months we'll be filling out this site with details of events and guests to the convention as we confirm them.
