The highly anticipated cosplay shows, which transform the festival into a visual spectacle every year, will bring together talented designers, distinguished jury members and fans, taking the excitement to its peak. Technology and hardware stands spread throughout the venue will also offer visitors the opportunity to experience next-generation equipment first-hand.
