This year’s event will feature the regulars like exhibitions, industry panel discussions, workshops, competitions and pitches and cosplays. One fantastic news about this year is that for the first time, not only will it be a three-day event but it will also be free to access all zones of the event.
According to the Chief Event Coordinator, Ray Anyasi, the fact that it is a three-day event this year has allowed for more robust programming and the activities and fun have been tripled to give the guests a time of their lives. He noted that after the unbelievable crowd turn out at last year’s event, it became expedient that they expand the duration of the event, saying they expect over six thousand guests in the three days of this year’s event.
While attendance is free, guests must register online on eventbrite.com or allevents.com to get access to the many fun activities.
