The Castle Point Anime Convention, or CPAC, is a 2-Day anime convention organized and operated by the Anime Critics United, Inc. Founded in 2008, the purpose of CPAC is to provide quality programming and social opportunities for anime and manga fans.
Like any other convention, we have a team of dedicated and enthusiastic staff, all of whom contribute year-round toward the success of the convention. All officers and department heads are current students of Stevens Institute of Technology, but we also have volunteers from other student organizations in the NJ/NYC area as well as alumni from the Stevens Anime Club. CPAC is not only an event for attendees to have fun at, but is also a learning and service opportunity for all staff involved. The student organizers try to make the convention as official and complete as possible with the intention of giving attendees the best experience possible and our staff real-world experience in event planning and management. CPAC focuses on being family-friendly (not to mention just friendly in general) and providing a social space that fans can come to and enjoy.
The name “Castle Point” is derived from the fact that the Stevens Institute of Technology is where the Stevens Castle once stood, in addition to the campus being located on the highest point in Hoboken, New Jersey. Paying homage to the origins of the convention, the convention was named “Castle Point Anime Convention” and later nicknamed “CPAC”. The first convention occurred on April 13th, 2008 and was a one-day convention.
