THE LAST HELLO AND THE FINAL GOODBYE Some of you might have been here since the very beginning, others came along the way, and for a few, this might be your first Genki ever. One thing is the same for all of your reading this though: Come Sunday, this will all be over. The culmination of hundreds of people’s efforts over 10 years creating a convention that you’ve all come to love and enjoy. Our staff will go up on stage during the Ending Ceremony and say our goodbyes to you, our wonderful guests, but this time, there won’t be a “hope to see you next year!” Many of you may feel sad that Genki is ending; perhaps even frustrated or angry. Please don’t be. What made Genki great wasn’t the events, venues, or absolutely amazingly witty posts on social media; it was the connections you made with one another. So please don’t spend the last Genki feeling sad that it’s ending, but instead use it as an opportunity to make strong, lasting connections with friends disguised as strangers you just have yet to meet and to strengthen the connections you’ve already made. I was hoping my last introduction would be a bit longer, but since I seem to be at a loss for words, I’ll leave you with some words from Queen’s We are the Champions: I’ve taken my bows And my curtain calls You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it I thank you all

THEATER HALL

ARTIST ALLEY

Sleep Hall Sleep Halls is only accessible to people with proper wristband. The cyan wristband provides access to the sleep Hall and convention area, whereas the magenta wristband only provides access to the convention area.

There will be marked areas where you can sleep; as we must have clear pathways for escape routes in case of fire, and also to make it easier for people to get around. Respect these markings. Leaving items in the Sleep Hall is at your own risk, so make sure to bring valuables with you when you leave. On Sunday, the last day of Genki, everyone must have vacated the Sleep Hall no later than 11:30! Not abiding by the Sleep Hall rules puts you at risk of losing your wristband, which will nullify your access to the convention. Sleeping halls are open: Friday 12:00 - Saturday 13:30 Saturday 16:00 - 17:00 Saturday 19:00 - Sunday 11:30 7

Health and Safety Greeting from the Security and Medic team. We are the teams of medics and security, who work tirelessly to ensure that you have an amazing convention in a secure environment. We can be found around the convention from Friday to Sunday, and are easily recognisable by the white staff shirts. Your eyes and ears are of great importance to us. If you ever find yourself - or witness someone - in a situation where you believe our assistance is needed, then never hesitate to contact us. Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. Therefore, there are some things that we would like you to help us with: • if you SEE something, SAY something. • If you need us but can’t find us? Then we are no more than a radio call away. You canalways get in touch with us through the Info desk. • Respect the given rules at the convention. • Remember food and stay hydrated. • Help each other. • Stay hydrated. We cannot stress this enough: guests often fall ill due to lack of hydration or proper nutrition. So please remember to drink plenty of water and eat regularly every day. And remember: We are here for your sake. We hope that you will have a fantastic Genki. ”Så er vi her, det tid igen Det er genki - ER I DER?! Solen skinner på dig og din ven Du sveder det er varm. Tag min hånd og kom med mig Så skal vi finde Jon Han kan sikkert hjælpe dig Du må ikke miste troen Drik nu vand du skal drikke vand En simpel regl, der er ikke brug for skrig og vræl

Drik nu vand Åh den læskedrik, for mig er den helt perfekt Drik nu vand du skal drikke vand Det siger jo sig selv Det kræver hverken mod eller held Vi må bare hjælpes ad Drik nu vand Du skal drikke vand Jeg skal drikke vand Drik nu vand”

(Based on the ”Pokémon Theme” (also known as ”Gotta Catch ’Em All”); a song written by John Siegler and John Loeffler and performed by Jason Paige.)

Convention rules Everyone is welcome at Genki. We want people to get along and have a nice experience at the convention. To achieve this, please act according to the following rules: All rules must be followed when applicable, i.e. photo rules, press rules, rules for the expo hall, weapon rules, and “Free hugs” rules.

In addition to the Rules stated above all attendees at Genki must abide by the Danish National laws. Breaking any of these rules will, depending on severity, result in a warning or in a ban from the rest of the convention. Several warnings can also trigger a ban, as well as being reported to the police, if laws have been broken. Wristbands Guests without a valid wristband will only have access to the designated free areas. Make sure to always wear your wristband and show it when asked by staff. A fee will be charged when replacing a lost or damaged wristband. Replacement wristbands can only be issued in the Check-in area and you must present a valid ID and ticket.

A private changing room & shower for transgenders has been made available by CityFys Wellness - the entrance for this is still through the Aquatic Centre’s ”kiosk”, but then immediately up the stairs to the right (signage will be present). One of the pools (Gryden) is suitable for people with disabilities to swim in.

Q&A With Genki staff Genki has for many years been a special place for a lot of people, and among them also its volunteers. On the occasion of Genki unfortunately closing as a convention, Genki asked the team leaders, who make each year run as smoothly as possible, a series of questions and here are a selection of their responses. You can find them and more on our website in both Danish and English. Q: What has a highlight for you been in your time as a volunteer for Genki? Jill, Part of Genki’s management/leadership since the beginning: “One year at Pizza time I received a round of applause from the other volunteers. It meant so much to me, and I had some difficulty with all the attention. Recognition from the others was a highlight for me, and I hope I managed to give some praise along with recognition back to the other volunteers’ work for their effort at Genki.” Mads, Team leader for Genki’s Check-In for many years: “The highlight for me as a volunteer during my time with Genki is the joy of seeing how happy our guests are whenever they come and get their wrist tickets, along with meeting friends from near and far with whom they might only see at conventions. It is contagious, and drives me to keep on being a volunteer. Aside from that I have had the pleasure of working with some volunteers for several years, who have later gone and become friends that I will have for many years to come.” Q: What will you remember Genki best for? Andreas, Team leader for Gameroom for several years: “That is hard. Genki haha. If I really have to pinpoint a time, then it would be the setup, where we blast bad music, dance and enjoy ourselves while we prepare for a storm of a weekend!” Mads: “I will remember Genki for the cozy tone that exists between the volunteers and our guests, along with the cozy atmosphere that we create for our guests.” Jill: “The unity and the feeling of the world that we create from we open the doors until we close. The friendships I have made with some fantastic people.” We also had the chance to ask Head Organiser Victor about the future of Genki: “The convention itself is going to be closing down, which everyone is probably familiar with by now. However, I have decided that the brand should live on, and that it will place greater emphasis on the community section, which is why there will still be activity on our social media and on our website. How much of it, however, that can be realised, and in what form, I really do not know - Focus here and now is on completing Genki 2019, and then we’ll take things as it comes.

Internet explorer ep. 7 by Merryweater

Merryweather I’m Merryweather, and I’ve been writing webcomics for 7 years. Currently I am the writer of 8 weekly comics for WEBTOON in collaboration with 8 different artists. My stories are mainly built to be easily shareable online. My style would be a hybrid of GARFIELD type sunday newspaper comics, Manga, and Korean Manhwa which are built for smartphones. I normally live in Japan, but I decided to take a year in Denmark to be with family, which allowed me to visit Genki! Where can people follow your work/you? I’m on Twitter @Merryweatherey and Instagram @merryweather.comics. Other than that I can be found on WEBTOON under Merryweatherey. How did you start writing scripts for webcomics? I always wanted to write novels, but nobody wants to read novels. At least not rookie level novels, since most of the time people see it as a bother or a favor to read something you write, rather than genuinely enjoying it. So instead I decided I wanted to write comics, because people do seem to enjoy reading comics. I actually decided to write comics one day during Genki many years ago. Must have been 2013. What inspires you to write your stories? I get inspiration from pretty much anywhere. I like to take inspiration from movies, TV shows, novels, comics, and generally artwork. There’s already so many things out there, it’s easy to take familiar concepts and combine them in new ways. What is your favourite genre to write? Probably comedy. I like writing short comics that are just a few panels long, which tend to lend itself best to comedy. I also think that is the sort of comic that is most popular these days. Short comics that can be shared on social media easily. How is to work in the webcomic industry? It’s pretty liberating, I would say. There’s a big demand for easy to consume, free comics that can be read on a smartphone, so it’s really just a matter of putting out things with decent quality. My situation is a little different of course, since I’m not an artist myself, and more of a writer/producer, working with lots of different artists. What is a typical work day for you? A typical work day mainly consists of managing artist schedules, upload dates, and promoting comics. I really only write about once or twice a month, and the session usually lasts anywhere from a few hours to about 8-10 hours, but by the end of that I have a lot of scripts to last for a whil What is some advice you would pass on to others? Start small. Try to make short stories that start and end in the same script. You learn far more from that, than long, drawn-out stories that take several chapters to conclude. You have to learn how to end a story before you can learn how to make a story good. You work with a lot of different artists, how do you meet/start working with them? Nowadays they’re all people I’ve known for years through networking and mutual contacts, but the way I met artists originally was just by writing to as many as I could until someone would hear me out. These days there’s plenty of money, and I know plenty of artists, so searching for new ones isn’t really something I have to worry about anymore. I used to meet a lot of them on DeviantArt and Facebook. What can we expect from you in the future? I’ve started promoting myself a lot heavier through social media, and trying to build my online presence as much as I can, through short comics about popular memes. And on the other hand, I’m also putting a lot more effort into creating longer, more narrative based comics, such as ’Everywhere & Nowhere’ which is my new featured comic on WEBTOON. What can Genki guests look forward to from you at Genki this year? I’m doing two panels about webcomics! One is a comprehensive guide on how to get started on webcomics, and the other is a brief history of webcomics. I’ll also be selling a few of my comics at the Artist Alley.

CaptainGhostly Cosplay Age: 24 Country: Belgium Cosplay Experience: Cosplayer for 5 years, guested at 30+ conventions around Europe, Judged the CWM international contest final in 2019. URLS / Places to find you online: instagram.com/captainghostly/ (primary) facebook.com/CaptainGhostly/ Photographer: Baka Photography

What’s your favorite cosplay you have ever made, and what discipline of cosplay (wigs, craft, sewing, bodypaint etc.) is your favorite? Ornstein (Dark Souls) by far! That costume was quite the challenge, but it taught me so much. Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am now. My favorite discipline of cosplay is crafting with a big range of different techniques and materials such as EVA foam, molding & casting, 3D printing, etc. I am trying my hardest to improve in other disciplines though! What’s do you focus on as a judge? That depends a bit on the contest, convention rules and costumes of course. But in general I focus on a loooot of things. Most commonly there are 2 big aspects: 1) Costume * How clean is the costume? * Is the costume the correct proportion? (A lot of people forget this part!) * What techniques are used? * How much does the cosplay resemble the reference? 2) Act / Performance * How unique is the act? * How is the stage presence? * If there is any mistake, how did they react? * How smooth does everything go? What’s your best experience in cosplay? When I give a workshop or explain something online to people and then a long time later they message me and show their awesome cosplay they made with the information I gave them!! That’s the best feeling in the world, to help and motivate people. What do you look forward to experience in Denmark and at Genki 2019? The people and community actually! I want to meet, hang out and talk to as many as possible. I want to see how cosplay is in Denmark and what the cosplayers create. I want to hear their stories and feel how they created their costumes. I am also exited for quite a few unique things that I heard Genki has (like a swimming pool!!!). I am sure the contest will be a blast as well!

Naruko Brock Naruko Cosplay Age: 32 Country: Germany Cosplay Experience: as Judge, Workshop Leader, Contest Participant, Convention Organisation and Helper since 2006 national and international (Europe). I joined the German Cosplay Championship (DCM) in 2015 and 2018 and was few times a Judge since 2013. First ECG was 2014 and I want to join next year again in the Category SOLO.

What’s your favorite cosplay you have ever made, and what discipline of cosplay (wigs, craft, sewing, bodypaint etc.) is your favorite? A single Cosplay isn’t easy to pick just now. There are few of them. Thanks to my big love to Critical Role I’m in love with my two new costumes. But also one of my Favorites are Regina from Once Upon a Time, Snowwhite from a Sakizo Artbook, Absinthfairy, Captain Hook and Cardcaptor Sakura. The most of them show the one and only true Thing, which send me every single time in Heaven and Hell, when I do it: Embroidery. I’m still in Love with it, no matter if its per machine or by hand. I never can get over detailed work. What’s do you focus on as a judge? I have a system during the judge (since Germany is taking care on craft and detail): Does the costume result match the person and their experience? How wellmade and clean is it or is there a highlight? Does costume fit with the performance? What feelings do I have when I see the complete work? What’s your best experience in cosplay? Of course, every scene has its downsides and black sheep, but I’m still surprised today how easy it is to meet new people. I am with my arms and legs into different scenes and so far there are only 3 who receive and accept someone. The cosplay scene especially shows me in competitive situations that it is fun and not a life-and-death game (or do I only see it that way?). That people helps or supports each other. What do you look forward to experience in Denmark and at Genki 2019? I love traveling and getting to know new cultures. For years I would like to travel to Denmark and this adventure gives me the chance to explore not only the country, but especially the cosplay scene. I’m happy to make new friends, but also to see old friends again.

What’s your favorite cosplay you have ever made, and what discipline of cosplay (wigs, craft, sewing, bodypaint etc.) is your favorite? I have so many costumes that are my favourites! But if i had to pick then it would be either my Brunhilde from Zangeki no Reginliev or Mercy from Overwatch. Both costumes were huge technical challenges and they gave me so much joy when Ive finished them. My favourite type of costume consists of armor, props and wings! EVA foam is definietly my most used type of material as its cheap and so easy to transform into anything. I am also fascinated by wig styling and try to improve my skills in this field! What’s do you focus on as a judge? I usually concetrate at technical side of costumes and love to know all the techniques and materials that contestans use while making the outfit. I was also told that Im good at making contestants calmer during the jury round so my focus is also nice chat with you guys! :) What’s your best experience in cosplay? As much as I enjoy making huge costumes and taking part in contests, I also love meeting new people! International convetions are my favourite part of being a cosplayer as I can talk with so many talented people from all over the world. It broadens my view at cosplay and i keep learning new things from you all. Best expierences always come from interactions with other cosplayers. What do you look forward to experience in Denmark and at Genki 2019? Definietly cosplay contest and time at my artist booth! I think that cosplayers from Denmark have such an amazing level of costumes so contest should be just so fun to watch. I also love my time at the booth since i can chat with you all! Please come visit me, i would love to meet everyone :)

DKOS - Find venner til en con Hvis der spørges rundt i det danske cosplaymiljø om hvad der er det bedste ved conner vil svaret næsten altid være “at se mine venner”, men hvordan får man lige mødt de der venner? Frygt ikke, for DKos har en guide til dig, som ihvertfald som minimum nok skal hjælpe dig på vej! Der er mange måder at møde folk til conner, jeg vil nedenunder fortælle om de fem mest normale - Tag billeder af folk - Deltag i events - Cosplay og meetups - Tag noget med. - Spørg på Facebook. Tag billeder af folk Hvis du nogensinde har haft cosplay på til en con, ved du hvor helt vildt glad man bliver når nogen spørger om de må få et billede, men har du nogensinde overvejet at gøre det selv? Til at starte med kan det godt virke lidt grænseoverskridende, men hvis du er høflig og spørger pænt siger stort set alle ja, og du har din åbning til videre samtale. Husk at de færreste har lyst til at få taget billeder hvis de tydeligvis står og taler med deres venner, hvis de sidder og spiser, eller hvis de ikke har hele kostumet på. Et eksempel på nogen gode samtaleemner kan være: “Vil du gerne have at jeg tagger

dig på billederne når jeg får dem lagt op? Hvad er din Instagram/ Facebook/Twitter/Deviantart? Okay tak. Det her er min.” “Ej, jeg elsker den karakter du er klædt ud som. Er det også din yndlings karakter?” “Dit cosplay er virkelig flot. Hvordan har du lavet [X]-del?” Deltag i events Rigtig mange conner har forskellige events hvor du enten skal deltage i en quiz, lave en udfordring sammen eller bare snakke. Paneler er ikke de bedste at tage til hvis du ønsker at få nye venner, men ankom fem minutter før og sig eventuelt hej til de andre der er til stede. Det kan være lidt grænseoverskridende, men alle andre til connen er sikker ligeså akavede som dig. En fin åbningsreplik kan være “Undskyld, sidder der nogen her?”, “Er det her det rigtige sted?” “Undskyld, skal I også se [X]? Det skal jeg også. Jeg glæder mig rigtig meget!” De mere traditionelle events du kan tage til er ting som hold quizzer, hvor du automatisk bliver opdelt i hold og dermed får holdkammerater at snakke med, krea arrangementer hvor I måske skal folde traner, ting som Anime Dating Game eller Dance Battle hvor du kan spørge om at komme på scenen eller sige til dem der var på at de var rigtig seje.

Dem der står for events er altid glade når nogen kommer, og hvis du føler dig bekymret omkring at der bliver en dårlig stemning eller det bliver akavet, så husk at den eventansvarlige er der for at sørge for at det bliver rart for alle at være der!

de er forelsket i men HUSK at det ikke er alle der synes at play delen af cosplay er lige sjovt, og at det derfor altid er en god ide at tjekke om dem du møder vil være med på legen, og om de er okay med at du rører ved dem.

Cosplay og meetups Det er ikke alle der har et cosplay hjemme i skabet, eller som kan finde ud af at sy, men ligegyldigt hvordan du skaber dit cosplay, om du køber, syr, finder det derhjemme eller får nogen til at lave det, så træk dit bedste grej på, og tag afsted til et fan meetup!

Til meetups kan du også sagtens hive din telefon frem, tage billeder og bruge de samme forslag til samtale, men du kan også tilføje nogle nye som f.eks

Fan meetups er hvor flere aftaler at mødes på et bestemt tidspunkt alle udklædt fra en bestemt serie, det kan f.eks være Boku No Hero, som er meget populært for tiden. De fleste arrangerer meetups på connens facebook side inden de tager afsted, og til enkelte conner som f.eks Koyocon bliver det også skrevet ind i det officielle program. Hvis du ikke kan finde nogen, så arranger eventuelt dit eget ved at skrive på Facebook om der er nogen der kunne tænke sig at mødes og tage billeder sammen! Når du deltager i et meetup, kan du se om du kan finde nogen der er klædt ud som det samme som dig, for selvom det nogen gange godt kan være ærgeligt og føles pinligt at have det samme tøj på, er det rigtig sjovt til en convention når man kan lege kloner eller tvillinger. Se om du kan finde din karakters bedste ven, værste fjende eller den

“Dit cosplay er rigtig flot. Har du lyst til at tage billeder sammen?” “Hvor er det sejt vi elsker den samme serie. Hvad er din yndlings del?” “Jeg glæder mig rigtig meget til at læse videre i [X]. Hvor langt er du kommet?” Husk at man kommer rigtig langt med et smil, og at virke åben og interesseret I dem omkring en! Tag noget med Jeg har aldrig prøvet det selv, men jeg ser ofte folk på conner som går rundt med en kurv eller en skål med noget i. Enten passer det til deres cosplay, eller også vil de bare være flinke, men jeg er ofte blevet spurgt om jeg vil have en slikkepind, et bolsje eller en kage. Mange af tingene har ikke været dyre, og det er egentlig ikke selve tingen det handler om, men mere det at få en samtale igang! Spørg nogen om de kunne tænke sig en slikkepind (og hold dig væk fra mindreårige hvis du ikke selv er en! Det er ikke et godt look for nogen at give slik til børn du ikke er i familie eller arbejder med!), og følg eventuelt op med om de har været til connen før, hvad deres

yndlingsting som de har oplevet er, og hvad de glæder sig mest til at opleve! Noget andet du kan tage med er en gammel traver, men som næsten må virke siden den stadig findes. Kan du gætte hvad jeg tænker på? Hvis du gættede Free Hug skiltet, har du fuldstændig ret. Free Hug, eller gratis kram, er en trend der har eksisteret ligeså længe som cosplay miljøet i Danmark, og er egentlig mest af alt noget du kan gå rundt med som opfordrer andre til at tage kontakt til dig! Free Hug er særligt godt hvis du er lidt genert og indadvent, men husk at du også selv skal gøre noget for at virke imødekommende og som en man har lyst til at gå hen til! Mange conner har regler for Free Hug, så husk at tjek hjemmesiden for den con du tager til, og ligesom ved meetup gælder reglen om at du aldrig må “overfalde” nogen eller få dem til at føle sig utilpas, også selvom det måske virker sjovt i øjeblikket. Spørg på Facebook Jeg har været aktiv i miljøet siden 2007, så dengang fandtes Facebook ikke som særlig meget andet end en side jeg kunne spille “Pet society” på, men Facebook i dag er noget helt helt andet, og det er blevet mere og mere almindeligt at førstegangs deltagere til conner spørger på connernes sider om der er nogen

der har lyst til at følges til eventet, da de ikke har lyst til at tage afsted alene. Hvis du er meget bekymret for at tage afsted, så er det her måske vejen frem for dig! Et eksempel på en tekst kan være følgende “Hej! Jeg hedder [X], og jeg skal deltage i J-popcon for første gang nogensinde! Jeg glæder mig meget, men jeg er også lidt nervøs for at tage afsted alene, så jeg tænkte om der er nogen der enten har lyst til at følges med mig noget af tiden, eller som har en vennegruppe jeg måske må gå sammen med? Jeg er [X} år, elsker [X] serie, og glæder mig mest af alt til at se cosplay showet!” Sidst men ikke mindst Det kan godt være at du synes alt det her lyder lidt åndssvagt, men at få venner til en convention er ligesom at få venner alle andre steder og mest af alt ligesom det er i børnehaven. Sig hej til nogen du synes ser søde ud, find ud af om I har noget tilfælles, mærk om de også er interesserede i at bruge tid sammen med dig, og spørg så om de kan lege (eller hænge ud som “de voksne” jo nok kalder det) - Rinse and repeat fra trin to, og du har begyndelsen til et venskab der kan vare hele livet hvis du husker at opføre dig som et anstændigt menneske og dem du har mødt viser sig at være det samme!

18+ Lounge Have you ever thought to yourself after a long day of being at the convention: ”Man... I could really go for an ice cold beer with a couple of my mates right about now”? Or possibly even ”A silky smooth cider and some card games would be the perfect way to end today”? Then come on up to the 3rd floor as Genki by Night transforms the maid café into an 18+ Lounge. At the 18+ Lounge, we screen for ID - underaged drinking is bad, m’kay? - so be sure to bring your driver’s license or passport. Once inside, you can enjoy ciders sweeter than nectar* and beers colder than your ex’s heart* all while participating in fun activities with a more adu... matur... with a crowd old enough to legally drink. * Heavily exaggerated, but they are fairly cold and sweet

Rules The 18+ Lounge will be serving cold refreshments with or without alcohol. One must be of legal drinking age (18+) to enter. You must provide a valid ID with picture, e.g. driver’s license. We ask our guests not to take alcoholic drinks with them outside the 18+ Lounge area, and due to regulations, only one alcoholic/energy drink can be had at a time. Staff will refuse serving customers if we believe they have had more than they can handle. Purchasing an alcoholic beverage for a minor is a crime, and you risk losing both wristband and future access to the convention. We trust our guests to treat the 18+ Lounge privilege with respect, but if anyone should fail to do so, contact the Security staff.

Thank you all! This year is Genkiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jubilee and the 11th time we host the event. From around 211 guest and 30 volunteers in our early years, all the way to our 2000+ guests and 200+ volunteers. It has been a fantastic adventure. But none of this would have succeded without all of you! Together, we have created Genki what it is. The spirit of Genki and that special mood that rises every year is a magical thing we all create together. And this will not disappear even though Genki is no longer held. We have truely become a community and our love for the culture exists beyond the limits of Genki. This is just a chapter ending, it can be a start shot for new adventures for all of us. A large applause for all the super volunteers who have helped bring Genki to its fullest every year. It has been an honour to stand shoulder to shoulder with everyone in Genki. It has been it amazing, and miracles have truely been pulled off. It has been absolutely inspiring to see the dedication and courage that the volunteers bring to the table. Genki would never have happened year after year without you and your work. THANK YOU! Xoxo Jill Editor and Genki organizer

Alas, the Genki Convention has reached the end of the road. But the dream is to continue to post and share the great things, events, eateries and enthusiasts who are around this community. Genki will continue in digital form and our desire is that the community can continue. Keep an eye on post from Genki in the future. We may be looking to help with a post, share a story or a competition to participate in.

Genki Beyond 38

Expo Hall This year the Artist Alley and Dealer Hall are separate and on different floors, but you will still be able to find your heart’s desire, whether it be Japanese snacks, manga, anime, merchandise or commissioned art of your favourite characters. Dealer Hall is located on the ground level in the DGI-byen. Which is possible to get to by going up to 1 floor in DGI conference and through the doors into DGI-byen. Artist Alley is in the basement level you can get to by going down the stairs, opposite Main Stage on the ground floor of DGI-byen, and after going to the right, and right around the corner. Then Artist Alley comes on the left side. Follow the signs showing the way. See the map on page 5-6, for more guidance on how to get there. Our Dealer hall and Artist Alley will be exclusive for Genki guests Friday. It means our guests will have first choice of all the goods found in the Dealer Hall and Artist Alley. Because on Saturday and Sunday, Genki’s Dealer hall and Artist Alley will be open the public. Be aware there is a limit to how many guests may be in the locations and it may happen that times are queued to enter. We apologize for the inconvenience but because it is to follow safety requirements. We ask that you armed yourselves with patience and perhaps plan your trip in low periods.

Borgere i Genki! Vi er samlet her, i denne weekend for at fejre, hylde, takke og sige farvel, til en helt særlig convention. En convention, hvis åbne arme og varme smil har budt mange cosplayere velkommen. Cosplayere af forskellige baggrund, kultur, former og farver har alle haft et fælles samlingspunkt og utopi her, hvor man kan få lov at blomstre som man har lyst, med hjælp fra dem der betyder mest. Selv om vi nu står her, med tårer i øjne og begyndende savn i vore hjerter, må vi alle huske på, at det ikke er de følelser som vi skal forbinde med denne convention. Slår man ordet op, betyder “Genki” energi, pep og gejst. For at hylde denne sidste Genki, vil vi tage selvsamme ord til os og huske på, at uanset hvor, hvornår, eller hvordan Genki bliver holdt, så er det os, folket, som gør det til den glædens fest det er. Lad os her alle mindes de dejlige tider vi har haft til Genki og sige farvel med et brag. Det brag Genki har fortjent. Genki, vi vil savne dig. Jeres retmæssige konge og hans håndlanger, Lord Farquaad og Thelonious
