Tekko (convention)
Tekko
(formerly Tekkoshocon) is an annual
anime convention
held during April at the
David L. Lawrence Convention Center
in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
. The convention has been held in various locations around the
Pittsburgh metropolitan area
and is run by a
non-profit organization
, the Pittsburgh Japanese Culture Society (PJCS). Tekkoshocon's name was a blend of the
Japanese
word
tekkosho
, meaning
steel mill
(a reference to Pittsburgh's industrial steel-producing history), and adapting the suffix "-con" (from
convention
), which is a common nomenclature archetype among such conventions.
