The Middle Tennessee Anime Convention (MTAC) is an annual three day anime convention held during March/April at the Sheraton Music City Hotel and Embassy Suites Nashville Airport in Nashville, Tennessee. The convention is organized by ArtsCubed, based in Nashville, who also holds the Geek Media Expo (GMX) and Nashville Zombie Walk.
The convention typically features an AMV contest, charity auction, cosplay contest, dealers, gaming (arcade, board, card, console, tabletop), Japanese Fashion Shows, a ramen eating contest, rave, and panels.
Tommy Yune was unable to attend the convention in 2010 due to the funeral of Carl Macek. MTAC delayed closing the 2010 convention due to the 2010 Tennessee floods for the members who could not leave. The convention in 2012 shared the Nashville Convention Center with the Full Moon Tattoo and Horror Festival. Due to attendance growth, the convention expanded into additional space in the convention center and hotel in 2013. The dealers room in 2016 experienced long lines.
