Believe it or not, Nan Desu Kan is in less then 30 days. Yes, it is that soon, and there is not stopping it so I hope you are ready. Taking place September 12-14 at the Marriott in the DTC again, NDK started announcing some of the great guests that will be there this year. Who are these guests you ask? I am glad you thought about asking that.
