Yes! My husband was a guest at one in 2013 called Kaigai Manga Festa. It was absolutely huge; I think the capacity was similar to San Diego Comic Con, which is massive. However, it was very much focused on art and artists, there wasn't much in the way of cosplay, which I know is a big attraction for some people going to conventions. The only bizarre thing was that the show was only 5 hours long. That's right; a show with a massive capacity that lasts five hours. At 4:45pm everyone started packing away their tables!
We haven't done Anime Expo yet; my husband mainly works for US companies like Marvel, so we don't do many anime-centric shows, but I'd be very curious to go if ever we did get an invite!
