Azerbaijani Anime Convention, (), or simply AzeCON, was an annual anime convention held in Azerbaijan. It was the first and only anime convention in Azerbaijan. The main goal of the convention was to bring together all of the anime, manga/comics and modern Japanese culture fans in Azerbaijan. There were six AzeCONs held since its debut.
The convention was intended to be held twice a year, in summer and winter, but at the end, it became annual. Anime conventional entertainments included: karaoke, just dance, treasure hunting, stage show, Japanese anime café, video games, animanga-themed stands, cosplay competition, and photo sessions. A cosplay contest was held in two nominations, individual and team. The mascot of the convention was a female anime character called "Ayna".
