Gundam, Godzilla to headline Asian IP festival Con-Con in Hong Kong
Two-day event will also showcase Japanese musicians including festival ambassador Cocomi, daughter of actor Takuya Kimura
An Asia-wide intellectual property festival will be held in Hong Kong in April, featuring Japanese musicians – including Cocomi as its ambassador – and pop culture exports such as hit franchises Gundam and Godzilla.
Con-Con Hong Kong, held at AsiaWorld-Expo on April 4 and 5, will also showcase immersive exhibitions and dialogue sessions with Asian creators.
“Con-Con”, which stands for Convention for Connection, was designed as a cross-sector platform with intellectual property (IP) at its core, organiser Hong Kong content distributor Medialink Group said on Wednesday.
“Launching from Hong Kong as its first stop, the platform sets its sights on a sustainably expanding future for IP culture across the region and beyond,” it added.
