No specific parking is outlined for Ani-Con but they did post a map on Instagram showing nearby lots. “Here is a map of the best available parking spots in Tempe and the area around Ani-Con! All areas are highlighted in purple and within close walking distance of the event. Parking rates are determined by each lot or garage“

All minutes from Ani-Con are Raising Cane’s, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Buffalo Wild Wings, The Chuckbox, and Dutch Bros to name just a few.
